Family of 3 dead in Pasig fire
Updated: 2016-04-19-00:00
A family of three died in a fire that razed their home in Pasig City early yesterday morning.
Arson investigators said the bodies of Rosario Chan, 72; her daughter Constancia, 50, and grandson, Benedict, 21, were recovered on the second floor of their house in Barangay Kalawaan.
Reports said the fire broke out at past 2 a.m.
Neighbors tried to rouse the victims from their sleep but failed to enter the house because it was locked.
The fire reached the first alarm and was declared under control at around 7 a.m.
Damage to property was placed at P300,000.
Five fire trucks from the Pasig fire department responded to the scene and prevented the flames from spreading to adjacent houses.
Arson probers have yet to determine the cause of the fire.
Last Friday, four people died in a fire that struck a residential area in Barangay Palatiw, Pasig.
