No issues have been reported.
A video of the massive fire that engulfed the dome of the Jameh Mosque during renovations in northern Jakarta, Indonesia, surfaced online on Wednesday.
Dramatic footage shows the moment the dome was filled with dust and smoke at 3pm on Wednesday.
The local police confirmed that no one was injured in the incident. However, investigations are underway into the matter and officials said that four employees of the organization, who were tasked with renovating the mosque, have been questioned so far.
The mosque is located in the compound of the Jakarta Islamic Center, a knowledge center for Islamic research and development. The Islamic Center also has educational, commercial and research facilities.
According to the head of the mosque, Mohammad Al Subki, the fire started when the workers of the construction company were carrying out maintenance work.
He says. “The fire started at the top of the dome and spread to other areas but the cause is yet to be ascertained.
He added that due to the strong wind, the fire spread quickly and covered most of the mosque.
By the way, according to Gulf Today , In 2002, the mosque's dome caught fire during renovations in October. It took firefighters five hours to put out the blaze.
Residents of the area expressed their grief over the tragic accident and expressed their shock on social media. "It is always sad to see historic religious buildings destroyed by fire," wrote one.
Another said: “The building is reportedly being renovated. Such work includes hot work and other fire hazards.
Another said the picture "breaks my heart."
The collapse of the mosque's dome comes weeks after a tornado ripped through a football stadium, killing more than 130 people. The government has announced that the Kanjuruhan Stadium in Malang will be demolished and rebuilt.
