Updated: 2012-06-23-09:56
A fire destroyed some P40 million in property after it destroyed more than 300 business establishments in Sulu Thursday night, the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council said Saturday.
The NDRRMC said the fire destroyed 320 establishments along General Arolas Street in Barangay Walled City in Jolo at about 8:45 p.m.
It did not immediately say if there was anyone hurt in the fire.
On the other hand, it said the local Office of Civil Defense is coordinating with the local government to see how it could help those affected.
Meanwhile, a fire razed three houses in Romblon last Thursday, destroying P400,000 in property.
The NDRRMC said the incident occurred at 1 p.m. at Barangay Alegria in Corcuera town. The fire was placed under control at 4:05 p.m.
An initial investigation showed the fire started at the kitchen of the house owned by Merly Fetalvero, who said high school students were temporarily occupying the house.
Also destroyed were the houses of Teodoro Fadullon and Godillo Fabellore. — LBG, GMA News
