- Story Text: At least 70 people were evacuated after an apartment building caught fire in Indonesia's capital Jakarta on Sunday (August 14).
No casualties were reported when the fire broke out in the late afternoon at the Parama Apartment complex in southern Jakarta.
Thick, choking smoke forced residents to cling to balconies or window ledges and wait for help.
Local media reported some residents were expatriate workers.
At least 30 fire trucks were on the scene for three hours as fire fighters tackled the blaze, the cause of which is still under investigation. - Copyright Holder: REUTERS
