At least 67 houses were razed by a fire that hit a village in Pagadian City, Zamboanga del Sur on Monday afternoon.
Superintendent Michael Palermo, city police chief, said no one was reported injured in the conflagration, which occurred at Purok Tabing Ilog, Barangay Balangasan about 3:30 p.m. on Monday.
He said fire investigators found that the fire originated from a boarding house and rapidly spread to the adjacent houses.
Palermo said the fire lasted for almost four hours before it was declared out by responding firefighters.
According to Palermo, more than 300 residents were displaced by the fire, which is estimated to have caused P3 million in damage.
