Rudi said the fire quickly spread from one building to another. Not long after, the place called Renita laundry was set on fire. “We tried to save things at our workplace. But when the fire grew up, we didn’t have time, we just ran quickly and saved us,” he said. Explosions were heard. Rudy and his associates have become increasingly panicked as the fire continues to grow. He even heard the sound of explosions many times. “More or less (ten times), behind the boxes there are boxes that sell fried food, stalls (many LPG gas),” he said. In the midst of the panic, Rudy, who tried to save the assets of the laundry, no longer thought of his personal belongings. All his important documents were not left in the back room. “At least it’s just a bag and a cellphone. That’s all, we don’t even think about taking a wallet; the problem is that the pants we wear every day wear such things. Stnk, KTP, such. Yes, everything is at home in the wallet,” he said. Rudi acknowledged that he did not know where to live after this disaster. During this time, he lived with two colleagues on the back floor of the laundry. “I don’t know where I will go with the boss first,” he said. About 400 people from 120 families (KK) were affected by the fire in Pengadegan, Pancoran. The fire took place this afternoon. A total of 15 fire trucks and dozens of staff members were sent in three phases for the extinguishing process. The cause of the fire is still being investigated. The fire was reported to the fire department at 15.18 WIB. The size of the fire at the beginning of the fire caused thick black smoke to rise high. (Jbr/jbr)
