50 houses affected as fire hits residential area in Valenzuela City
Updated: 2019–03–22
A fire struck a residential area at Sitio Libis, Gen. T. De Leon in Valenzuela City on Friday, affecting about 50 houses.
The blaze spread easily and reached the fifth alarm as the houses were built on light materials, according to a report by Super Radyo DZBB’s Allan Gatus on GMA News TV “Balitanghali.”
Some residents said the fire started in the middle of the row of houses, and further spread due to strong winds.
Valenzuela City fire marshall Superintendent Rodrigo Reyes said the Bureau of Fire Protection has declared a fire out, but still has no data on the families affected and the amount of the damage.
