Updated: 2016-08-09-00:00
At least eight houses were razed by two separate fires that hit Talisay City yesterday, leaving several families homeless and close to P200,000 in property damage.
The first fire broke out at 1:05 a.m. in Sitio Bridgeville, Barangay Bulacao.
The fire allegedly started in the house of Redelio Abellana, 62. The adjacent two-storey building occupied by Gina dela Cerna and Zosimo Navales was also destroyed.
Talisay City Fire Marshall Randy Mendaros said the fire may have been caused by an overheated electric fan, which was left running the whole day. Mendaros said fire was completely put out at 2:30 a.m. He estimated the damage at P100,000.
Few hours later, another fire broke out in Zone 3, Barangay Biasong. At least six houses were razed, leaving an estimated damage of P70,000.
Mendaros said the fire started at the residence of Teofelo Villavelez, 60.
“Ang tanan nasunog payag, unya under investigation pa ni siya kay amo pa gipatawag ang mga nagpuyo para kuhaan namu og statement,” Mendaros said.
