Fire hits BTN Tower

JAKARTA: The 14th floor of Bank Tabungan Negara (BTN) Tower on
Jl. Gajah Mada No. 1, Central Jakarta, was gutted by fire early
on Saturday.

The fire also caused an electricity blackout in the building,
said Soeryanto, the bank's credit director.

All tenants in the building were forced to temporarily halt
their weekend activities, including Ramaco radio station whose
offices are on the 19th floor of the building.

"We hope all the building's activities return to normal on
Monday," Soeryanto said.

The fire began at 1 a.m. but it was extinguished before it
could spread to other parts of the building an hour after 10 fire
trucks cordoned off the scene. -- Antara
