Updated: 2015-04-12-14:17
At least 108 families were left homeless by the spread of fire at the town center here Friday night.
The fire razed more than 90 houses and market stalls, local officials said.
The fire reportedly started at a small store selling petroleum products on retail basis.
It took responding firemen from the municipal fire bureau and nearby towns three hours to stop the fire.
Maguindanao Governor Esmael Mangudadatu said he has directed the provincial government’s emergency response group to investigate on the incident and provide victims with relief and rehabilitation services.
The fire also destroyed dozens of vending stalls in the periphery of the Datu Paglas municipal market.
