LIVE: Thousands of Homes Destroyed as Fire Rips Through Residential Area of Manila
A major fire broke out on Sunday morning in the residential area of Isla Puting Bato in Tondo, Manila. The Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) issued the first alarm at 8:02 a.m. However, due to the densely packed houses made of light materials, the fire rapidly spread. Manila Fire District said around 1,000 houses were burned in the blaze that is thought to have started on the second floor of one of the homes. By 10:13 a.m., the alarm was escalated to Task Force Bravo. In response, 25 fire trucks, four fire boats, and one ambulance were dispatched to the scene. There are no immediate reports of casualties.
