Bottled gasoline stall in QC catches fire
Updated: 2019–07–06
Fire hits store selling bottled gasoline along Payatas Road, Area B in Barangay Payatas in Quezon City early Saturday morning, Manny Vargas reported on Super Radyo’s DZBB.
With the fire, there was traffic congestion in the area while some vehicles turned back from Commonwealth Avenue going to Rodriguez town in Rizal.
Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) personnel used fire suppressing chemicals to put the blaze under control.
BFP officials are also investigating how the fire started.
A BFP official said a CCTV footage showed a suspect was seen throwing an item towards the store and then the fire started.
But the stall owner may also face charges as selling gasoline in bottles is allegedly illegal. There is no business permit.
Under the Fire Code of the Philippines, it is illegal to sell gasoline in bottles. — BAP, GMA News
