Incinerator catches fire

BOGOR: An incinerator belonging to the Bogor mayoralty's
Sanitation Agency caught fire on Tuesday, causing agency staff
and local residents to panic.

The incinerator, which had only been installed in the agency's
backyard a month ago, was being repaired at the time. The
incident was caused by a leak in the kerosene pipe.

Students at a state elementary school located next to the
agency on Jl. Paledang also rushed out of the classrooms.

Two fire engines soon arrived at the site to extinguish the
fire so that it did not spread to a nearby tank containing 6,000
liters of kerosene.

The Rp 3.2 billion incinerator consisted of three units, each
worked between 12 and 13 hours a day.

"The fire is not our responsibility, but the investor's, in
this case PT Karya Puspita Utama," head of the agency, Saiful
Anwar, said.

The fire caused losses of millions of rupiah. -- JP
