00:00The affected house is 237, correct?
00:05The one that has no current or what?
00:07All of them, all of them.
00:09We calculated one section.
00:12It might not have caught fire, but because we cut the TNB, the supply.
00:15The majority of the victims slipped,
00:18either in an unblocked area,
00:21meaning if they wore short pants, they slipped on their feet,
00:23then slipped on the back,
00:25on the back, then they turned.
00:27But we also asked the KKM to monitor the cases
00:31if any of them were exposed to heat.
00:33We will continue, including what we said earlier,
00:36in 24 hours.
00:38So far, have you been able to confirm the source of the fire?
00:41No.
00:42Still in the investigation?
00:43Still in the investigation.
00:44Now we are cooling down the car,
00:47the boiler, to cool it down,
00:48to allow the investigation team to enter as soon as possible.
00:51That's what caught fire.
00:53The percentages are different.
00:54There are 10, there are 90,
00:57we will check again later.
00:59Yes, yes.
01:00Okay.
01:05So far, based on reading,
01:07the calculations that we monitored are 1,
01:121, 2,
01:14and 1, 1, 0,
01:16and gate buff 2, 6, 0,
01:19there is no gas flow.
01:21So the possibility is very, very, very low.
01:25So we will ask for communication with the police,
01:28because we have asked the PGA,
01:30a group of 35 people,
01:32to control the area,
01:34because we want to avoid other things.
01:36So you can communicate with the PKD,
01:38the police, the PTK police,
01:40to monitor the entrance.
