MANILA, Philippines — Forty-seven families were left homeless after a fire engulfed a residential area in Marikina City on Friday night.
The fire, which started at 6:44 p.m., destroyed several houses along 32nd Avenue in Barangay Nangka, the Bureau of Fire Protection’s National Capital Region office said in a report.
The fire reached second alarm before it was controlled by firefighters at around 7:41 p.m.
In an interview over ABS-CBN, barangay captain Celso delos Armas said the wind contributed to the spread of the fire.
No person was reported injured and displaced residents were relocated to an evacuation center.
