Fire razes 40 houses in Cebu City

 

MANILA – A fire destroyed 40 houses leaving several residents of Sitio Tinabangay, Barangay Mambaling in Cebu City homeless early Sunday morning.

 

According to Cebu City Fire Marshall Chief Inspector Rian Bacaldo, they were informed about the fire at around 3:52 a.m.

 

While they were quick to leave for the area, Bacaldo said his team had a hard time getting to the fire site because the houses were closely built next to each other.

 

Bacaldo said their path was narrow and they could not penetrate quickly to reach the houses that were caught by fire.

 

The fire was controlled at around 5:06 a.m.

 

Authorities said they have yet to determine the cause of fire, as well as the amount of the damage caused by the fire.

At least 60 houses were razed in a fire that hit a residential area near a market in Cebu City before dawn Sunday.

No one was initially reported injured in the fire, which destroyed some P600,000 in property, according to a report on "24 Oras."

Firefighters had to connect their hoses to put out the fire, the report said.

A separate report on Visayas-based Bombo Radyo said the fire hit Sitios Huyong-Huyong and Tinabangay in Barangay Mambaling in Cebu City.

It quoted Cebu City fire marshal Chief Inspector William Tacaldo Jr. as saying the fire lasted two hours before it was placed under control.

Firefighters had a hard time fighting the blaze because the houses were bunched together and were made of light materials. — BM, GMA News
