Fire engulfs chemical warehouse in N. Jakarta

A fire ravaged a chemical warehouse in the Kapuk Utara area of North Jakarta on Tuesday night.

Some 18 firetrucks were dispatched to control the blaze.

Authorities are not sure what caused the fire nor the monetary value of the damage, as the owner of the building has fled, kompas.com reported.

However, one official said that a chemical spill may have caused the blaze. This spill created a thick hazardous fog.
