Mountain fires raged over the weekend in two barrios in Sagada, Mountain Province, burning pine trees in the process, a report on Unang Balita on Monday said.
In Brgy. Antadao, at least one hectare of land with grown pine trees was damaged.
Also damaged in the fire was the water line to the barangay.
The affected area was above the Dantay-Sagada National Road and near residential houses.
Residents said the fire may have been sparked by a discarded cigarette butt.
It took firemen almost a whole day to put out the fire.
The other fire was reported in Brgy. Anguid.
Firemen were still conducting their investigation to determine the amount of property damage as of posting time.
No one was hurt in the said fire.
