Fire Razes Five Kiosks In Bali

Badung, Bali (Antara Bali) - A fire ravaged five kiosks at Sangeh village in Badung district, Bali province, early Monday, but there were no reported casualties, noted the police.

"The fire was caused by a short circuit," Badung Police Public Relations Chief Adj. Comr I. Made Dina stated on Monday.

The fire was first spotted at 1:30 a.m. by a motorist, I. Wayan Erik Suganda, passing by, Dina remarked.

Suganda sought help from the local residents of Sangeh village to put out the fire. But, they were afraid to get closer to the scene as one of the kiosks sold gas.

The residents later contacted the Badung Fire Department. But, when the fire fighters arrived at the scene, all the kiosks had already been burned, he reported.

No fatalities or injuries were reported in the fire. The fire inflicted material losses of around Rp100 million.

I. Md Wijaya, who had hired one of the kiosks, was shocked to hear the news about the fire, he added.

"The kiosks were relatively old. They would have been renovated after the lease contract with the traders had expired," he stated. (WDY)
