A fire that destroyed at least 40 houses in a residential area in Pasay City was finally put out Sunday morning, some 12 hours after it started.
No one was initially reported injured in the fire that caused some P750,000 in damage to property, radio dzBB reported.
Volunteer firefighter group TXTFire, in a post on its Twitter account, said the fire at Merville Access Road in Kalayaan was declared out at 6:51 a.m.
TXTFire said the fire had reached Task Force Alpha as of 10:45 p.m.
It said the fire was placed under control at 10:57 p.m.
On the other hand, the dzBB report said the fire started at about 6:30 p.m.
Firefighters had a hard time getting to the area due to narrow streets, even as the fire spread quickly as the houses were made of light materials. — LBG, GMA News
