Several families lost their homes after a fire of undetermined origin razed a residential area in Parañaque City on Monday afternoon.
No one was initially reported injured in the fire at Area 1 in Sitio Libo, Barangay Santo Niño in Parañaque City, radio dzBB’s Sam Nielsen reported.
Photos tweeted by Nielsen showed residents trying to save their belongings.
The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority said the fire reached Task Force Bravo as of 6:02 p.m. as many of the houses were made of light materials. Under Task Force Bravo, firetrucks from other fire districts are required to respond.
Volunteer firefighters eventually had to manually carry water to the area.
