JAKARTA: Fire destroyed the fourth floor of the Taxation
Agency building in Jl. H.R Rasuna Said, South Jakarta, on Sunday
but there were no reports of casualties.

According to an official from the fire department in South
Jakarta, Sodara Pandu, it was still investigating the cause of
the fire which occurred at 5.20 p.m. on Sunday.

By the time the blaze was extinguished at 6.10 p.m., it had
destroyed the fourth floor and its entire contents, Pandu said.

"We reached the scene not too long after it was reported,
therefore, we managed to stop the fire before it spread to the
other floors," he said.

South Jakarta fire department dispatched nine fire fighting
units to tackle the fire.

He did not say whether the fire was deliberately set or not.

Recently, the Trade and Industry Department building near
Gambir railway station in Central Jakarta was reportedly set on
fire in an act of sabotage. --JP
