Coffee Shop Fire at Bogor Junction Mall: Allegedly Due to Electrical Short Circuit
Bogor, July 30 2024 – A fire broke out at a coffee shop located inside the Bogor Junction Mall, Jl Jendral Sudirman, Bogor Tengah, Bogor City, at dawn this morning. This fire is thought to have been caused by an electrical short circuit in one of the devices at the coffee shop counter.
“The initial suspicion was that it was due to an electrical short circuit from one of the tools at the coffee shop counter. Coincidentally, there were flammable tools and materials there,” said Regional Manager of the Bogor Yogya Junction Area, Endang Yudi, on Tuesday (30/7/ 2024).
Endang explained that the large number of flammable materials in coffee shops, such as coffee cups made of paper and plastic, caused the fire to spread quickly. However, thanks to the quick actions of officers, the fire was successfully localized so that it did not spread to other tenants or counters in the vicinity.
“There were also coffee cups made of paper, then there were plastics, maybe that accelerated the spread of the fire. But thank God it was quickly localized so the fire didn’t spread to the neighboring tenants. The tenants on the right and left are still safe,” said Endang.
Previously, the Bogor City Fire Department reported that one of the coffee shops inside the mall building on Jl Jendral Sudirman, Central Bogor, Bogor City, experienced a fire. As a result of this incident, a security guard was rushed to hospital because he was experiencing shortness of breath.
“Information about the fire at the Fore coffee shop kiosk at Bogor Junction Mall, Jalan Sudirman, Central Bogor,” said M Ade Nugraha, Head of Firefighting and Rescue of the Bogor City Fire Department, Tuesday (31/7).
Ade added that his party could not confirm the exact cause of the fire and handed over the investigation to the police. To date, no fatalities have been reported as a result of the incident.
