"Yes, it happened that a house unit with an area of 6x9 meters in Langkapura was burnt to the ground. The entire house was used up, starting from the refrigerator and other electronic goods. But if it was a motorbike like that, nothing caught fire," said the platoon commander for the Bandar Lampung City Fire Department, Riswanto.

Riswanto recounted the chronology of the burning of the house when the PLN power went out, then the owner wanted to turn it on with a generator.
