JAKARTA: A house and three kiosks owned by a man identified as
Bahrudin on Jl. Abdul Majid in Cipete, Kebayoran Baru, South
Jakarta, were destroyed by fire on Thursday night. No fatalities
were reported.

Police said two security guards at the Cipete subdistrict
office first spotted the blaze and reported it to the owner of
the kiosks.

Eight fire trucks were deployed to the scene, and residents
also helped fight the fire, which was extinguished at about 8
