JAKARTA: A bar located in the entertainment center of Jl.
Blora in Central Jakarta caught fire early on Tuesday.

The fire was first detected at 3:20 a.m., more than an hour
after it closed. The fire started on the second floor of the
building, possibly caused by a short circuit or negligence of an
employee who forgot to turn off an electrical appliance,

put out the fire, but to no avail. Eight firefighting units
rushed to the site at about 4 a.m. and immediately extinguished
