One person was reported killed while two others were injured in a fire that hit a residential area in Navotas City before dawn Monday.
A report from the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council said the fire started at 3:27 a.m. and razed four houses along J. Alonzo Street in Daang Hari village.
“One person was reported dead, with two injured. The cause of the fire is still under investigation while the amount of damages and the affected families/persons are still to be determined,” it said.
The victims were not immediately identified, even as the NDRRMC said firefighters from Navotas, Malabon and Caloocan Cities responded to the fire.
It said the fire reached the third alarm before firefighters placed it under control at 4:25 a.m. and put it out at 5:20 a.m.
At least 23 families were affected and were brought to the village gymnasium. — RSJ, GMA News
