Indonesian rescuers and firefighters on Saturday searched for more than a dozen missing under the rubble of charred houses and building
just before midnight on Friday after it tore through the neighborhood for more than two hours, fire officials said.
Residents living near the depot said they smelled a strong odor of gasoline, causing some people to vomit, after which thunder rumbled twice, followed by a huge explosion around 8 p.m.“I was crying and immediately grabbed our valuable documents and ran with my husband and children,” Haryati said, adding that she heard smaller blasts that echoed across the neighborhood as orange flames jumped from the depot.
He said investigators were still working to establish the cause of the fire and questioning dozens of witnesses.
