Faulty wiring blamed for Palmerah market fire
Updated: 2013-08-26-06:16
A fire gutted the second floor of the Palmerah market in West Jakarta at 3 a.m. on Sunday. No casualties were reported.
“We suspect that the fire was a result of a short circuit in electrical wiring provided by state-owned electricity firm PT Perusahaan Listrik Negara (PLN) that crossed through the building’s second floor,” head of the West Jakarta Fire Agency Agus Suryamandala was quoted by kompas.com as saying.
Twenty five fire trucks deployed finally put out the fire at approximately 4:45 a.m. .
The second floor of the market was the hub for cellular phone and toys sellers.
