Updated: 2013-03-21-05:12
At least P3 million in property was destroyed in a fire that razed a hardware store for more than two hours in Pasig City Wednesday night.
No one was initially reported injured in the fire that hit the hardware store at Ortigas Extension in Barangay Sta. Lucia, radio dzBB’s Divine Caraecle reported Thursday.
The report said the fire started shortly before 10 a.m. at the warehouse of the hardware store and reached only the first alarm.
But firefighters had a hard time getting the fire under control because of the flammable substances there, such as paint thinner.
Firefighters had to use a foam solution to eventually bring the fire under control at about 11:07 p.m.
A post on the Twitter account of fire volunteer group TXTFire said the fire was put out at 12:08 a.m. Thursday.
While an initial investigation showed the fire started at the center of the warehouse, arson investigators are still looking into what sparked the fire. — ELR, GMA News
