Fire hits Iloilo commercial building on eve of Dinagyang
Updated: 2014-01-25-12:23
A fire razed a commercial building in Iloilo City Friday night, on the eve of this year’s Dinagyang Festival.
The fire started at 7 p.m. and razed the building that housed a supermarket and other establishments, radio dzBB reported.
Investigators are verifying information that the fire may have stemmed from an electrical short circuit, as some witnesses claimed seeing sparks from an electricity post.
A separate report on Visayas-based Bombo Radyo said the fire snarled traffic along Iznart Street and prompted some residents to leave their homes.
The fire also caused a brownout in the surrounding areas. — DVM, GMA News
