Old Hotel Indonesia storehouse on fire

JAKARTA: A storehouse building close to Hotel Inna Wisata,
Central Jakarta, which belongs to Hotel Indonesia, was damaged
after it caught fire on midday on Saturday.

No one was hurt in the fire as the building was left vacant
following the closure of the hotel for renovations.

"Fortunately, the building remained vacant and power and water
installations had been disconnected," said a mechanic, Kiram.

The fire started at about 11:50 a.m. and was put out by the
city fire department about an hour later. Witnesses believed it
was caused by a spark from welding in a nearby workshop. The
building would now be demolished, Hotel Indonesia management
said.

The storehouse was on a list of Hotel Indonesia's assets that
are to be auctioned. --Antara.
