We successfully put out the blaze about two hours later
Head of West Jakarta Fire Handling and Rescue Sub-Department, Pardjoko relayed that his sub-department immediately deployed 14 fire trucks to the scene after he received a fire report. The firemen had trouble to put out the blaze as most of the buildings made from woods and plywood, thus the fire quickly grew up.
