According to the energy storage and electricity market, on December 10th, CCTV reported that a serious fire broke out in the office building of Terra Drone's Indonesian branch in the Indonesian capital at noon on December 9th, resulting in 22 deaths.

The Jakarta Capital Region Disaster Reduction Agency (BPBD) reported that the fire broke out at 12:43 pm on Tuesday (9th) and the disposal work was completed at 5:30 pm.

It is reported that the building that caught fire is the Indonesian subsidiary of Japanese drone giant Terra Drone, which mainly provides aerial survey drone services for agricultural and mining purposes.

The preliminary cause of the fire is attributed to the explosion of lithium batteries in the drone battery warehouse on the first floor. The BPBD report states: "It is preliminarily suspected that the cause of the fire was a malfunction of the drone battery

When the fire broke out, a large number of employees were taking a nap, and some were resting on the second to sixth floors of the building. Due to the thick smoke, many people were trapped. Firefighters used aerial work vehicles and oxygen equipment to rescue survivors and broke multiple windows for evacuation, but most people were still unable to escape due to smoke suffocation. Nearby residents recalled seeing employees waving and calling for help upstairs. Some people managed to escape from nearby buildings, some using ropes, and some using ladders to jump off buildings and escape. Although the fire did not completely engulf the building, the thick smoke was deadly, and most employees died from inhaling excessive toxic smoke.

Fire Chief Bayu Megantara confirmed that all 22 victims were Terra Drone employees, including 15 females and 7 males, and one pregnant woman who was 7 months pregnant. In addition, 19 people successfully survived. Most of the victims were concentrated on the 3rd and 4th floors, which were not the ignition source but caused a large number of suffocation deaths due to the spread of thick smoke and delayed evacuation. Rescue personnel found multiple bodies on these floors, all of whom were found to have difficulty breathing and collapsed to death.
