Four houses on Jl. Teluk Gong, Pejagalan in North Jakarta were destroyed in a fire on Monday.
No casualties were reported.
Penjaringan Police criminal unit head Comr. Mustakim said the fire began on the second floor of a home.
"The fire immediately spread to three other nearby houses before the homeowner called the fire agency," Mustakim said as quoted by kompas.com.
Five fire trucks were deployed to extinguish the flames. The fire had been extinguished at 1 p.m., one hour after the fire began.
Mustakim said the fire may have been caused by a short circuit. (fac)
