Dozens of people were injured, many being taken to hospital with serious burns. The fire broke out on Friday evening at a warehouse in the north of the Indonesian capital and spread to several nearby homes.
The fire, which was extinguished in a few hours, led to the evacuation of densely populated neighborhoods near the warehouse, the authorities said.
