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. The 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 was black smoke billowing high into the air everywhere. The British Army began to attack so fiercely. The greatest battle happened in the Village name Dayeuh Kolot, in South Bandung, where there was a large ammunition depot belonging to the British. In this battle, Barisan Rakyat Indonesia destroyed the ammunition depot.

    The strategy to fire Bandung was considered because the power of TRI and the people's militia was not comparable to the British forces and NICA. This incident inspired to create the famous song "Halo-Halo Bandung”. To remember what they did and struggled, they built the Bandung Lautan Api monument.
