The fire which broke out at around 10.00 p.m. on Sunday razed the houses in three neighborhood associations on Jalan Abdul Muthalib in Samarinda, spokesman for the Samarinda city government Gusti Kresna Moelya said early Monday.
"The exact source and cause of the fire are still unknown," he said adding fire fighters managed to extinguish the fire at 11.55 p.m. on Sunday.
"The scene of fire is a densely populated area. Furthermore, most of the houses were made of inflammable materials so the fire quickly spread to the houses in the three neighborhood associations on Jalan Abdul Muthalib," he said. (*)
