Fire guts Sakti Plaza

JAKARTA (JP): Fire gutted two of four stories of the Sakti Plaza building on Jl. M.T. Haryono in South Jakarta, Tuesday night.

The fire which started at 7:15 p.m. is believed to have been caused by a short circuit on the third floor.

Fifteen fire engines came and the blaze was extinguished at 11:30 p.m.

No one was hurt.

PT Sakti Plaza manager Faizal estimated losses could reach Rp 500 million.

"That's only the value of the building, it could be billions of rupiah if we count other materials including computer apparatus," he was quoted by the Suara Pembaruan afternoon daily as saying.

Tenants include Arby's and Dunkin' Donuts restaurants. (05)
