Warehouse gutted by fire

INDONESIA: Fire gutted on Saturday a warehouse belonging to paper
producer PT Pura Barutama in Kudus, Central Java province. No
fatalities were reported in the incident.

The fire department was called immediately after the fire
started in the warehouse at 4.30 p.m. The prompt arrival of the
fire department allowed the fire to be put out completely within
a few hours, said Hasan Aoni Azis, a spokesman for the company.

The fire did not spread to other buildings as the distance
between the affected building and its nearest neighbor was some
50 meters, said Azis.

The company produces security paper for banknote printing, and
exports some of its production. -- JP
