Fire investigators are eyeing electrical misuse behind the two fires that hit three houses and a studio room in Lapu-Lapu City yesterday morning.
A house, owned by a certain Joel Berdin located on Sergio Osmeña Street, Barangay Gun-ob, was destroyed by the first fire that took place around 9 a.m.
The fire then spread to the adjacent houses of Juanita Degolacion and Antonio Tindon.
Senior Fire Officer 1 Climaco Salisid of the Lapu-Lapu City Fire Department said the houses were made of light materials.
During investigation, the fire was found to have originated at an occupant’s bedroom in the house of Berdin where a convenience outlet exploded. The room was reportedly occupied by a certain Joel Baguio.
Salisid said the fire was declared under control within few minutes, adding that the victims are now temporarily residing in each of their relatives’ houses.
Fire investigators pegged the damage at more or less P100,000.
