Tear Gas and Desperation: Blazing Inferno Engulfs RS Hermina's Emergency Room
A sense of chaos and panic gripped the emergency room of RS Hermina Hospital in Jakarta yesterday evening, as a devastating fire swept through the facility, leaving behind a trail of destruction and fear.
Eyewitnesses described the scene as "absolute madness" as panicked patients and staff members frantically scrambled to escape the inferno. The blaze, which originated from an electrical fault in one of the rooms, quickly spread out of control, fueled by the highly flammable materials used in the hospital's construction.
"It was like a nightmare come true," said Dr. [Name], who witnessed the chaos firsthand. "We were all trying to evacuate as quickly and safely as possible, but it was like trying to navigate a war zone."
The fire department was quick to respond to the emergency, but not before the blaze had engulfed several areas of the hospital, including the emergency room and parts of the ICU.
"This is a disaster waiting to happen," said Dr. [Name], who works in the ICU. "We're talking about one of the busiest hospitals in Jakarta here. How could this have happened?"
The hospital's administration has yet to comment on the cause of the fire or the extent of the damage, but officials have confirmed that no fatalities were reported.
As news of the fire spread, social media was flooded with messages of concern and support for the staff and patients affected by the disaster. However, many are left wondering how such a tragedy could have occurred in a country with one of the best healthcare systems in Southeast Asia.
"This is a wake-up call for all of us," said [Name], a local resident who was visiting the hospital at the time of the fire. "We need to take steps to prevent this kind of disaster from happening again."
For now, the staff and patients of RS Hermina Hospital remain shaken and traumatized by the events of yesterday evening. As one patient so eloquently put it: "I thought I was in a safe place, but it turned out to be a ticking time bomb."
