Gas Tank Explodes! Severe Fire at Tuban Soy Sauce Factory, 4 Workers Rushed to Hospital. Losses Reach Tens of Millions
A fire incident occurred at the Cap Laron Soy Sauce Factory located in Gedongombo Village, Semanding District, Tuban Regency, on Monday (16/9/2024). This fire caused four workers to be rushed to the Dr Koesma Tuban Regional General Hospital (RSUD) to receive medical treatment.
According to the Head of the Tuban Satpol PP and Fire Department (Damkar), Gunadi, the fire started when workers were cleaning an 8,000 liter capacity LPG gas tank using a compressor machine. The tank is empty when cleaned.
However, suddenly there was a spark accompanied by the sound of an explosion from inside the tank. Gunadi suspects that this fire was caused by an electrical short circuit in the compressor engine installation, which triggered a spark and caught the remaining gas in the tank.
“The fire most likely occurred due to an electrical short circuit in the compressor engine, which ultimately ignited the remaining gas,” explained Gunadi.
Firefighters immediately arrived at the location to extinguish the fire using a mixture of water and detergent, so that the fire was successfully suppressed before it spread further. Material losses resulting from this incident are estimated at IDR 50 million.

Lalan Bridge Hit Again by Coal Barge! What is the Impact?
Lalan Bridge Hit Again by Coal Barge! What is the Impact?
The Lalan Bridge, which previously suffered damage after being hit by a coal barge, is back in the spotlight after being involved in the latest incident. On Saturday (14/9/2024) at around 08.05 WIB, a coal barge towed by Tugboat Marina 1621 BG Marine Power 3039 hit the bridge foundation.
The Head of Lalan Subdistrict, Jamian, confirmed that the incident did not cause serious damage to the bridge pillar foundation, because the barge only grazed the back. “Not hit, but nudged, sir,” explained Jamian when contacted by detikSumbagsel.
Currently, the captain of the tugboat involved in the incident has been arrested and is being questioned by the South Sumatra Regional Police Directorate of Air and Water Resources. “He has been BAPed at the South Sumatra Police Ditpolairud,” added Jamian.
The Lalan Bridge is still under repair, and the river channel under the bridge, which was closed due to debris from the collapsed bridge, has now been reopened to ships. Head of KSOP Palembang, First Admiral TNI Idham Faca, informed that since Wednesday (11/9), ships have been able to pass normally on this route.
Idham also appealed to ship and speed boat captains passing through the Musi River, especially in the Lalan Bridge area, to always be careful and prioritize safety. “I urge boat captains and speedboats to always be careful, especially when crossing the Lalan Bridge,” he concluded.
