East Jakarta fire burns house, leaves owner homeless
Updated: 2017-05-12 20:00
Another fire broke out in the capital on Friday as a house in Cakung, East Jakarta, was gutted by flames. A preliminary investigation suggested that the fire was caused by an electrical short circuit.
“There were no casualties, although the house owner lost all of his belongings,” said Gatot Sulaiman of the East Jakarta Fire Department on Friday, as quoted by beritajakarta.id.
He added that the fire started at about 2 p.m.
The fire department deployed two fire engines to extinguish the blaze. The fire was completely put out about 45 minutes later.
The incident was the second of the day as a fire had broken out in a four-story shop house in Kebayoran Baru, South Jakarta, early Friday morning. The earlier fire was also allegedly caused by an electrical short circuit. (kuk)
