Fire in Indonesia's Papua Kills 11, Including 6 Children The recent fire that ravaged a market in Papua's Paniai town, killing 11 people including six children, is just the latest in a series of devastating blazes to strike Indonesia.
The tragedy has sparked widespread concern about the country's ability to prevent such disasters. Deadly fires are nothing new in Indonesia.
In recent years, numerous incidents have claimed lives and destroyed communities across the country. Last December, 22 people lost their lives when a fire swept through a Jakarta office building.
