The term Bandung Sea of Fire becomes a term well-known after the events of scorched earth. General AH Nasution was General TRI that the meeting in Regentsweg (now Jalan Dewi Sartika), after returning from a meeting with Sutan Sjahrir in Jakarta, decide strategies that will be made to the city of Bandung after receiving the British ultimatum.
"So I came back from Jakarta, after talking with Sjahrir it. Indeed, in the talks in Regentsweg, at the meeting, talk everyone. Well, there arises the opinion of Rukana, Commander of the Military Police in Bandung. He argues," Let us make Bandung South into a sea of fire. "What he calls the lake of fire, but it is actually a sea of water." - AH Nasution, May 1, 1997
The term Bandung Sea of Fire appears also in the daily Suara Merdeka March 26, 1946. A young journalist at the time, namely Atje Bastaman, witnessed the burning of Bandung landscape of hills of Mount Leutik around Pameungpeuk, Garut. From the top of the Atje Bastaman see Bandung flushed from Cicadas until Cimindi.
After arriving in Tasikmalaya, Atje Bastaman eagerly immediately write news and titled "Thus Bandoeng Laoetan Fire". But due to lack of space for writing the title, then the headline shortened to "Bandoeng Laoetan Fire".
