There were mini gas stations that did not have fire extinguishers (APAR) or traditional fire extinguishers arround the mini gas station area. There was an incident of fire in mini gas station that was located in Kudus which burned the owner's house and one person was injured.

Data collected by questionnaire consist of questions and observations. The statistical analysis used was chi-square test. Based on result variable that related to fire mitigation readiness were years of work(p-value = 0.020), knowledge (p-value = 0.005), application of work procedures (p-value = 0.005). While variables that were not related to fire mitigation readiness were age (p-value = 0.628), gender (p-value = 1,000), education level (p-value = 0.582), and work motivation (p-value = 0.057).
