Updated: 2016-02-05-11:36
A fire of still undetermined origin hit at least three classrooms of the Dolores Elementary School in Antipas town, North Cotabato last Wednesday evening.
The fire started at 8:15 p.m. at the pre-school building, said school principal Ana Marie Chato.
She said tables, chairs, and pupils’ permanent records were destroyed by the fire that was placed under control at 9:30 p.m.
Fire officials are still conducting an investigation into the possible cause of the fire, which Chato believed could have been sparked by a faulty electrical wiring near the windows of the pre-school building.
Damage could be “at least P2 million,” she said.
Also, she said 73 school pupils, including pre-school children, (Grades 1, 3, 4, 5 and 6) are now using the school’s stage, canteen, and hallway as temporary classrooms.
