The South Jakarta Fire and Rescue Sub-agency (Gulkarmat), conducted socialization on fire prevention, rescue, and handling during the Mosquito Nest Eradication (PSN) Campaign in RW 08, Gunung Urban Village, Kebayoran Baru Sub-district.

We educate them about the need to prevent fires

Gunung Urban Village Gulkarmat Task Force Head, Nurul Komar said the socialization attended by 50 residents consisting of neighborhood administrators, Jumantik cadres, PKK, and other elements was aimed at preventing fires early on.

"We want residents to be more careful so that fires do not occur and know the steps to take when a fire occurs," he expressed, Friday (9/6).

To prevent or handle fire early, they were educated about handling fires using APAR, not to panic when trying to put out the fire with simple equipment, and to shout as loudly as possible to get help from residents.

"We educate them about the need to prevent fires from electrical short circuits or gas stove leaks," he explained.

He added environmental administrators and community leaders were encouraged to help provide outreach to residents to always keep the environment clean from flammable waste.

"Do not burn garbage in residential areas, especially during hot weather and strong winds. Hopefully, all the materials presented can be useful for residents," he explained.

RW 08 Chairman, Gunung Urban Village, Edi Loesiyanto uttered APAR is widely available in 10 RTs which are placed in strategic locations and fire-prone areas.

"Thank you to the Gulkjarmat Sub-agency for holding socialization about the danger of fire. We will share this knowledge with other residents," he uttered.

Jumatik RW 08 Coordinator, Gunung Urban Village, Sri Fatmi added that today's Gebyar PSN targeted 629 buildings, starting from houses, schools, offices, and business places.

"We found one house that still had mosquito larvae, so the larvae-free figure (ABJ) produced was 99.9 percent," he closed.
