Fire at Anggana Danamon

Fire at Anggana Danamon

JAKARTA (JP): A small fire gutted the 32nd floor of the semi- developed Anggana Danamon building located on one of the city's main thoroughfares Tuesday morning.

At least nine mobile fire units attended the scene but none of their hoses were able to reach the fire in the skyscraper on Jalan Jend. Sudirman.

A number of firemen then took portable extinguishers to the last floor of the building that could be reached by lift and extinguished the fire in only a few minutes.

The cause of the fire is still under police investigation but South Jakarta Police Chief, Lt. Col. SY Wenas, who was at the scene, blamed the construction workers. But he did not go into details.

The still to be completed building has not yet had electricity installed.

The cost of the blaze has yet to be announced. (bsr)
