Thu, 22 Feb 1996

BANDUNG, West Java: Fire swept through five houses along Padasuka road in Cibeunying, burning 14-year-old Entin alive on Tuesday, Antara reported yesterday.

Police sources said the fire probably started when a kerosene stove used by Entin's family to cook their Idul Fitri meal exploded. The fire spread to oil drums and jerricans of gasoline stacked in front of Entin's house. Entin's father sold gasoline and lubricants.

Nine families were made homeless by the fire. (swe)
