JAKARTA (Reuters) -- At least 17 people were killed when a fire broke out on Friday at a fuel storage station operated by Indonesia's state energy company Pertamina in the capital Jakarta, an official at the city's main firefighting unit said.
The fire, which started after 8 p.m. local time (1300 GMT), burned some houses and sent nearby residents in the densely populated area into a panic, some of whom fled with their belongings, footage from broadcasters showed.
