The fire was extinguished for about an hour after the incident because firefighters had experienced problems in the extinguishing process when the fire was extinguished, the fire got bigger.
According to OKU Police Chief AKBP Arif Harsono, from the confession of local residents, the fire first came from the house of Septian Ardiansyah, the owner of a grocery store.
"According to residents, the shop owner also sells retail fuel so that the fire quickly grows and grabs into other residents' houses. But we can't conclude the cause of the fire from an electrical short circuit or anything," he said.
