On September 30, 2026, a major fire in the densely populated Petamburan II area of Tanah Abang, Central Jakarta, destroyed at least three houses and forced dozens to evacuate. On October 4, 2026, a series of fatal incidents occurred.

In Matraman, Muhammad Fadel (17) and Rezi (21) died after being trapped in a residence that also functioned as a medical equipment business. In Kediri, East Java, a 73-year-old man named Sarwono died in a house fire on Jalan Dandangan, suspected to be caused by an electrical short circuit, resulting in Rp300 million in losses. Other Jakarta incidents included a gas stove explosion in North Jakarta that burned a 76-year-old woman and a fire in Semper Barat causing Rp210 million in damages. On October 8, 2026, a major fire in Penjaringan, North Jakarta, destroyed dozens of homes and stalls on Jalan Kapuk Muara III.
