Shopping center catches fire

PEKANBARU, Riau: The city's shopping center caught fire
yesterday, causing extensive damage but no injuries, a press
report said.

Eyewitnesses said the fire broke out on the second floor at
7:40 a.m. when shoppers began to stream in, Antara reported.

Fire brigade managed to put it out about 30 minutes later
largely due to the light traffic on the streets surrounding the
mall.

and calculate the resulting loss. (rms)
