InfoSAWIT, BANDA ACEH –Thursday, 15 February 2024 night, the mill of PT Bumi Sama Ganda (PT BSG) in Village of Alur Manis, Sub district of Rantau, Regency of Aceh Tamiang was in flame. It was told by the fire fighter of Aceh Tamiang, Ilham Ramadhansyah in the same spot.
It might happen at 21.06 WIB. It was assumed the fire was from the burning of oil waste that was frozen in bunch press of the mill by using wood manually.
The fire fighters in Regency of Aceh Tamiang quickly responded the call by rushing three units of fire trucks to the location with the helps of the workers and the villagers.
It was not easy to extinguish because the oil from the tank kept flowing. With the persistence, the fire fighters, police, army and the local, the fire was extinguished at 21.53 WIB.
“Everyone was difficult to do their job because the oil from bunch press kept flowing,” Ilham Ramadhansyah said.
As InfoSAWIT quoted from Antara, the good thing was there was no injury in the accident and the loss from the fire was unknown still.
From the information, the mill was not operating for hardly a month because oil in the bunch press got frozen. This could be the factor to the fire. (T2)
