Updated: 2016-04-28-15:59
A fire of still unknown origin struck a residential area early Thursday in Taguig City and left dead a five-year-old girl and at least three others injured.
The Taguig Fire Department said Christine Notes was killed after she got trapped inside their house at Purok 6 along Cayetano Street in Barangay Tuktukan when the fire struck at past midnight.
According to the fire department, the blaze started from the house of a certain Benjie German that quickly spread to 20 adjacent houses which are mostly built of light materials.
Reported injured in the fire were Aldrin Carbon, Marites Fernandez and Carmina Alfonso. The three sustained minor injuries.
The blaze reached the fifth alarm before it was placed under control by responding fire fighters at about 1:50 a.m.
Arson investigators are looking at the possibility that the fire was caused by an unattended candle.
