Fire damages warehouse

JAKARTA (JP): Fire partially gutted a warehouse at the Putra
Kalimantan building complex on Jl. Gatot Subroto in South Jakarta
on Monday afternoon.

No fatalities were reported and material losses have yet to be
calculated.

The blaze, which gutted the second floor of the two-story
plywood building, was extinguished 15 minutes after it was first
spotted by a security guard from nearby Mulia Tower.

Thick, black smoke from the fire descended on busy Jl. Gatot
Subroto and caused heavy traffic congestion as motorists slowed
down to observe the fire.

South Jakarta police and firefighters arrived later to secure
the area and extinguish smoldering materials.

No employees contacted in the Putra Kalimantan building were
willing to comment on the fire. (emf)
