JAKARTA - A two-story house in the Pasar Baru area, Sawah Besar District, Central Jakarta, caught fire on Wednesday, May 10. The flames are thought to have originated from an electrical short circuit on the 2nd floor of the house.
The fire quickly devoured the entire building on the second floor. Firefighters who responded to the fire and rescue of the city of Central Jakarta who arrived at the location immediately tried to extinguish the extinguishing process.
"There are residents who informed via telephone that a fire broke out in Pasar Baru. As soon as we arrived, the fire was already big," said Central Jakarta Firefighters Officer Mulandono to reporters, Wednesday, May 10.
Although it was difficult because of the narrow road access, the flames were finally extinguished twenty minutes later after 14 fire engines were thrown into the location of the fire.
"The object that caught fire was only on the second floor. Thank God it has been handled," he said.

The fire incident, continued Mulandono, was known to have started with residents when they slept under the power outage. When the occupants went up to the top, it turned out that the fire had grown.
"Fire from the second floor. Difficulty accessing our narrow car which is medium can't enter, that's why the medium is on the side of the road," he said.
Luckily there were no casualties or injuries after the fire. Meanwhile, the total loss could not be estimated. Officers suspect that the cause of the fire was the fire due to the short circuit.
