Updated: 2013-06-20-08:06
An early morning fire caused tension and snarled traffic at a market under a bridge in Manila’s Quiapo district Thursday.
No one was initially reported injured in the fire, which started before 7 a.m. at the Quinta Market under the Quezon Bridge in Quiapo, radio dzBB’s Sam Nielsen reported.
The fire reached the third alarm before responding firefighters placed it under control at about 7:14 a.m., the report said.
Traffic under the Quezon Bridge was disrupted as fire trucks occupied the area.
Arson investigators are verifying claims by local vendors that the fire stemmed from an electrical short circuit at one of the handicraft stores in the area.
The report also said public works teams may inspect the Quezon Bridge to check if the fire affected its structure. —KG, GMA News
