Restaurant catches fire at Plaza Semanggi
Updated: 2014-02-11-05:59
Steak 21 restaurant, located on the third floor of Plaza Semanggi shopping mall in South Jakarta, caught fire at around 3:30 p.m. on Monday.
No casualties were reported in the incident.
Workers and mall patrons who saw smoke emitting from the restaurant fled in panic while the pungent smell of burned rubber emanated to other floors.
Mall security guards extinguished the fire in one hour.
South Jakarta’s Setiabudi Police Office chief Adj. Sr. Comr. Tri Suhartanto said that based on a preliminary investigation and eye-witness accounts, the fire ignited from a liquefied petroleum gas (LPG)-powered potato fryer in the kitchen of the restaurant. “Flame suddenly burst from the fryer and produced thick smoke,” Tri told reporters.
Tri said that after electricity and LPG technicians examined the impact of the fire, the mall was safe enough to reopen.
“It is safe for other tenants to open their stores again,” he said.
