Police barracks razed by fire

JAKARTA (JP): Fire destroyed two police barracks located on
Jl. Daan Mogot, Pesing, West Jakarta, over the weekend but no
casualties were reported.

Wiyono Wiryo, an official of the West Jakarta Fire Office said
that the fire caused an estimated financial loss of about Rp 135
million (US$61,335).

Operational Chief of the office Ishak Yakub said that the fire
started at 1:30 p.m. on Friday and was extinguished by 3:00 p.m.
by 12 fire engines.

He said the firemen had difficulty in extinguishing the fire
because most of the building materials were made from flammable
substances, mainly plywood. (mas)
