Fire Tragedy in the Snack Home Industry: Losses Reach IDR 50 Million
A major fire hit the snack home industry in Kedawung Hamlet, Central Majang Village, Dampit District, yesterday (20/10). This fire is thought to have been caused by cooking oil that was too hot and caught fire, resulting in material losses estimated at IDR 50 million.
This incident was reported to the fire brigade at around 08.16, although the fire had started to grow at 07.45. At that time, the production process in the factory was underway with more than 10 employees in it.
Suriati, a 52-year-old home industry owner, uses traditional equipment for production. Instead of using a gas stove, the frying pan is heated with firewood. “When the fire occurred, there was indeed an activity frying snacks in the burning stove,” said Syaiful Anwar, Platoon Commander (Danton) of the Malang Regency Satpol PP Fire Brigade.
Four fire engines arrived at the scene at around 08.55. Luckily, all employees were outside the factory before the fire got bigger. The fire team immediately moved quickly to extinguish the fire in the burning kitchen area measuring 8 x 10 meters. The blackout process was completed at around 09.45, but the home industry had suffered major losses. This incident is a reminder of the importance of safety and vigilance in running a business.
Based on statements from witnesses, the fire team suspects that the fire was caused by cooking oil that was too hot during the frying process.
“Because too much firewood is used, the heat in the cooking oil becomes excessive. “The fire then spread to the frying pan and grabbed the cooking oil,” said Syaiful.
According to him, oil that is too hot will evaporate.
When hit by a big fire from under the pan, it will obviously burn very easily.
