A severe fire incident struck a home-based business specializing in painting motorcycle spare parts, located in Leuwinutug Village, Citeureup District, Bogor, West Java, in the early hours of Thursday.

According to information, the fire was first seen growing by local residents at around 4:20 AM local time. The exact cause of the fire is still under investigation.

Access Challenges and Emergency Response

Upon receiving the emergency report, fire department personnel immediately responded. However, firefighting efforts faced significant challenges due to the geographical conditions of the location.

“It turned out the access route to the location was quite narrow, so only a small unit from the Citeureup Fire Post could pass through. Larger units from the sector and other posts sought alternative routes to the site,” the statement explained.

Given the fire’s already high intensity, one additional small unit from the Citeureup Sector was deployed as backup to expedite the response.

Personnel began firefighting operations around 4:45 AM local time. Thanks to the team’s prompt action, the fire was successfully brought under control and fully extinguished. The total response time required was approximately 1.5 hours.

Fortunately, no fatalities were reported in the fire that gutted the motorcycle parts painting workshop.
