About 17 wooden boats caught fire at a river in Pati district of Indonesia's Central Java province on Saturday, leaving 1 person dead and 2 others wounded, a senior official of disaster agency said.
Firefighters and water canon trucks were hampered to enter the location of the incident due to difficult access to the scene, spokesman of national disaster management agency Sutopo Purwo Nugroho told Xinhua in a text message.
The incidents hitting the sailor ships started at 13:50 local time at Juwana port in Kenongo river, the spokesman said.
Efforts to separate the 17 boats from the other ones are still underway, he added.
