At least 60 houses were razed in a fire that hit a residential area near a market in Cebu City before dawn Sunday.
No one was initially reported injured in the fire, which destroyed some P600,000 in property, according to a report on “24 Oras.”
Firefighters had to connect their hoses to put out the fire, the report said.
A separate report on Visayas-based Bombo Radyo said the fire hit Sitios Huyong-Huyong and Tinabangay in Barangay Mambaling in Cebu City.
It quoted Cebu City fire marshal Chief Inspector William Tacaldo Jr. as saying the fire lasted two hours before it was placed under control.
Firefighters had a hard time fighting the blaze because the houses were bunched together and were made of light materials. — BM, GMA News
