A team from Gadjah Mada University (UGM) has identified a potential cause for the fire that occurred at Fia's house in Sleman. Investigators discovered cracks beneath the residence, which they suspect served as a pathway for flammable gas. This finding offers a concrete explanation for the unusual nature of the fire that has affected the property.

The UGM team's investigation focused on identifying the source of the ignition and the materials involved. The presence of these cracks suggests a possible leak from an underground gas source, which could have accumulated and eventually ignited. This detail is crucial in understanding the sequence of events that led to the fire, moving beyond speculation to a more scientific explanation.

This discovery is significant for Fia, as it provides a clearer understanding of what caused the damage to her home. The findings from UGM will likely inform any necessary repairs or safety measures to prevent similar incidents in the future. The university's involvement highlights the community's effort to address and resolve the issue with expert analysis.
