A house on Pasar Baru Street, Medan Baru District, Medan City, caught fire on Thursday (28/5/2026). Three fire trucks were deployed to extinguish the blaze.
After discovering the fire, Yoan immediately informed his parents, who were inside the house. Panic ensued. They tried to put out the fire with makeshift equipment while contacting the fire department.
“The water suddenly stopped. I was surprised it went out, because earlier I had just washed clothes and water was still flowing,” he said.
This situation made Yoan increasingly suspect that the fire was an act of sabotage. Nevertheless, he hopes the police can uncover the exact cause of the fire.
Observations at the scene showed that police personnel from the Medan Baru Police Precinct have conducted a crime scene investigation to determine the cause of the fire.
