Firefighters extinguish a fire at the Bellevue Mall and Apartments in Cinere, Depok, Thursday (5/10). The fire is suspected to have started in the electrical room on the basement 3 floor on Wednesday (4/10) at 08:30 p.m. As a result of the fire, the mall has temporarily been closed and all of the apartment occupants have been evacuated.

JAKARTA, KOMPAS – The fire that broke out at the Bellevue Cinere shopping center and apartment in Depok, West Java, on Wednesday (4/10) night, is a reminder about the importance of improving public awareness on the safety and security of high-rises, houses and office buildings. Smoke was still visible as of Thursday afternoon, more than 15 hours after the fire broke out.

Depok Fire and Rescue Department chief Yayan Ariyanto said the fire was caused by a short circuit in the generator room. The fire destroyed all the cables in the room, an adjacent restaurant and a basement-level supermarket. “Further investigation is needed to determine a more accurate cause of the fire,” said Yayan.
