The Buzz | 17 people killed in fire at karaoke bar in Indonesia 

Seventeen people were killed in a fire that raced through a packed karaoke bar yesterday on Indonesia’s Sulawesi island, and 71 others were hospitalized for smoke inhalation.
Witnesses told authorities the fire started at around 1 a.m. on the second floor of the three- story building as hundreds of people were singing in private rooms at the Inul Vizta Karaoke club in downtown Manado, the capital of North Sulawesi province, said the city’s police chief, Col. Rio Permana.
Workers were unable to put out the fire with extinguishers. It took firefighters several hours to bring the blaze under control.
