Updated: 2013-09-21-04:24
Several families lost their homes in a predawn fire that razed several shanties in a residential area in Manila’s Tondo district.
The fire started at about midnight Friday and reached the fifth alarm, radio dzBB’s Paulo Santos reported.
Many of the houses in Barangay 105, Zone 8 were made of light materials, allowing the fire to spread quickly.
Residents were evacuated to a nearby covered court.
Smoke from the fire also affected visibility along R-10 in Tondo.
Arson investigators are still determining the cause of the fire. — DVM, GMA News
