JAKARTA - Firefighters are working hard to extinguish the fire at the Pertamina Plumpang depot pipe fire, North Jakarta. Efforts to extinguish the fire were quite difficult because of its location near residential areas.
From Kompas TV broadcasts, officers entered the settlement with narrow roads to prevent the flames from spreading to residential areas, Friday 3 March.
A number of residents screamed hysterically when they saw the flames that were quite large from the location of the fire. Residents living near the Pertamina Depot complex smelled the pungent smell of gasoline before the fire broke out at the Plumpang Pertamina Depot Petrol Pipe, Koja, North Jakarta.
"There was a strong smell of gasoline before the incident while passing by," said Pandi Ahmad, a resident of Koja, North Jakarta, quoted by ANTARA, Friday, March 3.
