In response to the fire at Central Jakarta's Senen market, the Jakarta administration has vowed to thoroughly audit the safety of all of the city's markets.
Acting Jakarta governor Sumarsono said on Friday that he had ordered the authorities to assess safety conditions at all market buildings, especially those of city-owned companies, including developer PT Pembangunan Jaya and market operator PT Pasar Jaya.
"We need to evaluate the markets all over the city to ensure their safety," he said.
Sumarsono said constructions that had the Building Worthiness Certificate (SLF) usually had fire safety equipment, such as water sprinklers and fire extinguishers.
"Therefore, we need to check them again to make sure such facilities are available," he said.
A fire razed more than 1,000 kiosks at Senen market on Thursday. No casualties have been reported in the accident.
As of Friday afternoon, firefighters were still trying to extinguish the flames.
