Bandung as Sea of Fire

Bandung as Sea of Fire was a fire that occurred in the city of Bandung on March 24, 1946. Within
seven hours, about 200,000 residents of Bandung burned their homes.

British troops as part of the Brigade MacDonald arrived in Bandung on October 12, 1945. Bandung
was deliberately burned by TRI and local people. There were black smoke billowing high into the air
everywhere. The British Army began to attack so fierce. The greatest battle happened in the Village
name Dayeuh Kolot, in South Bandung, where there were a large ammunition depot belonging to
British. In this battle, Barisan Rakyat Indonesia destroyed the ammunition depot.

The strategy to fire Bandung was considered because the power of TRI and people’s militia was not
comparable to the British forces and NICA. This incident inspired to create the famous song “Halo,
Halo Bandung”.
