Four people died and two were injured in a fire that hit a residential area in Barangay 177 in Malibay, Pasay City on Saturday morning.Initially, two were reported dead and one was missing, according to Senior Fire Officer 1 Resmond Germino, chief public information officer of the Pasay City Fire Station, in an interview on Dobol B TV.
However at past 10 a.m., Germino said four bodies were already retrieved: a mother, her 7-year-old son, 14-year-old “pamangkin”, and her brother-in-law, according to a report by GMA Integrated News’ Bea Pinlac.
Two residents had minor injuries — one, a first-degree burn, and the other sustained a wound on the feet, Germino added.
The fire broke out before dawn in a row of houses on Esteban Street near the creek and what residents call Flores Tulay, according to a report by Mao dela Cruz on Dobol B TV.
It quickly spread as the houses were made of light materials.
The Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) raised the third alarm as the fire grew. The fire was eventually placed under control, then fire out was declared at 7:23 a.m.
BFP investigators are still determining the cause of the fire and estimated amount of property damage
