Two children died while a 36-year-old man was injured in a fire that hit a residential area in Dalaguete town in Cebu province Tuesday morning, the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council said Wednesday.
In its 6 a.m. report, the NDRRMC said the fire occurred at 8 a.m. in Catolohan village in Dalaguete town, and was put out at 12:30 p.m.
Killed in the fire were Hayden Sidney Indig, 4; and neighbor John Mark Jorolan, 3, both of Catolohan village in Dalaguete town.
The fire also injured Harold Manos, 36, and caused some P30,000 in damage to property.
Arson investigators are verifying reports the children were playing with matches before the fire started, radio dzBB’s Cebu affiliate Orchids Lapincao reported.
Initial investigation showed the fire started at 8 a.m., with firefighters not immediately able to respond to the incident because they learned of it late. –KG, GMA News
