Traders' home destroyed by fire

TANGERANG: Fire burned down a rented house on Jl. Oto Iskandar Dinata, Grendeng subdistrict in Karawaci, Tangerang, where four families who operated stalls in Grendeng traditional market lived.

None of the house occupants were injured in the fire, which started at about 1 p.m. on Thursday, Tempointeraktif.com reported.
