Fire destroys two houses in West Jakarta
Updated: 2013-09-09-07:35
The West Jakarta Fire Department deployed 23 fire trucks early on Saturday to put out a flash fire that set two houses ablaze in West Jakarta.
A firefighter with the department, Heri Purwanto, said an electrical short circuit was probably behind the conflagration, which gutted the two houses located in Jembatan Besi.
“According to our preliminary investigation, the fire was caused by a electrical short circuit in one of the houses,” Heri said as quoted by kompas.com.
He said 23 fire trucks were deployed to prevent the fire from spreading to other homes in what is a densely populated slum area.
