Indonesia: 17 killed, dozens injured in massive fire at fuel storage depot

Friday's fire was the second large blaze at the Plumpang fuel depot. In 2014, a fire engulfed at least 40 nearby houses but no casualties were reported.

At least 17 people were killed and dozens injured in Indonesia's capital on 3 February, after a massive fire broke out at a state-run fuel storage depot before firefighters brought it under control.

Video of the fire broadcast on television showed hundreds of people running in panic while thick plumes of black smoke and orange flames filled the sky and firefighters battled the blaze.

At least 260 firefighters and 52 fire engines were rushed to contain the blaze which forced the evacuation of thousands of nearby residents after spreading within Jakarta's densely populated Tanah Merah neighborhood.

The cause of fire was not clear.
