A firefighter battles a grassfire that occurred at the South Road Properties in Cebu City. The fire department recorded at least three fire incidents in the city yesterday.
The campaign of the Cebu City fire department against the occurrence of fire this fire prevention month seems to face challenges with at least three incidents in just a day yesterday.
An apartment owned by Virginia Ngosiok at the Arriola Compound in Barangay Sambag 1 caught fire at past 2 p.m.
Senior Fire Officer 1 Ariel Balajadia said they received the alarm at 2:24 p.m. and the fire was placed under control in 12 minutes. Fire out was declared at 3:09 p.m.
Balajadia said the fire originated from the room rented by Janice Cruz on the second floor. A resident reportedly noticed flickering sounds and later smoke coming out of the room. Balajadia said the fire might have been caused by faulty electrical connection.
He said it was difficult to access the apartment because there is only one entry point, which cannot accommodate a fire truck. Firefighters had to connect six hoses to combat the fire.
