Fire Destroys Quicksilver Stock in Bali Blaze
Fire tore through the Quicksilver and Oakley stores in the Kuta Square shopping center in Bali before opening time on Thursday morning, causing hundreds of millions of rupiah worth of damage.
Kuta Police Chief Adjutant Comr. Doddy Prawiranegara said the fire was discovered by a Quicksilver employee about to open the store.
'The Quicksilver staff member said the fire engulfed the shop and the Oakley store next door within minutes,' Doddy told the Jakarta Globe.
A number of tourists were left shaken after the blaze, just 100 meters from Kuta Beach.
Doddy said it was believed the blaze was caused by a short-circuit because a similar incident occurred at the same store last week.
The investigation is ongoing. The shops have been sealed.
