Firecracker stalls destroyed by fire

JAKARTA: About 25 stalls selling firecrackers located on Jl. Jembatan Tinggi, Kebon Kacang, Tanah Abang, Central Jakarta, went up in smoke on Friday afternoon.

The police said the fire was caused by a firecracker going off near a stall, which caused a fire that devoured other stalls nearby.

The fire also destroyed a Yamaha RX King motorbike belonging to Mulyadi that was parked adjacent to the stalls. --JP
