No casualties were reported, the police said.<\/p>\n
Witnesses said the fire started from a temporary barrack,
\nwhere construction workers were living at a building site, at
\naround 1:30 p.m.<\/p>\n
The fire spread quickly from the barrack to a house owned by
\nEdi Borot and the kitchen of nearby Sabang Jaya restaurant.<\/p>\n
The fire also spread to the parking lot of Toyota Astra where
\nseveral brand new cars were parked. The staff were unable to save
\nfive cars.<\/p>\n
Not waiting for firefighters, local residents worked side by
\nside to extinguish the fire with a mixture of water and mud they
\ntook from the gutter.<\/p>\n
Four fire trucks arrived later at the scene, which was crowded
\nwith bystanders.<\/p>\n
Firefighters put out the fire at about 2:30 p.m.<\/p>\n
