“The fire was triggered by gas canister explosion. The gas canister exploded when being used to cook in the kitchen. Allegedly, its hose leaked,” she stated.
Due to this incident, married couple Ahmad Yani and Kasirah (35), who are the food stall owner, as well as son-in-law named Yana (20) suffered burns in their hands and bodies.
“The victims are currently treated in Tarakan Hospital,” told Amperiyani.
According to Head of West Jakarta Fire and Disaster Handling Sub-Department, Jon Vendri, fire only burned a part of the house’s ground floor because the locals quickly extinguished it using light fire extinguisher (APAR).
