A fire that lasted for two-hours razed a hardware store in Numancia, Aklan early morning of January 22, a Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) official said.
Fire Inspector Joseph Cadag, chief of BFP-Numancia said fire fighters and fire trucks of BFP New Washington, Tangalan, Numancia and Kalibo were deployed to put out the fire in Barangay Poblacion.
Fire fighters responded to the fire scene at 2:40 a.m. in Coching Enterprises along F. Carillo Street, about five kilometers away from the capital town of Kalibo.
“Pagdating namin sa area, malaki na ang sunog. Nag fire suppression activity kami sa tulong ng mga kalapit na fire stations,” he added in Bombo Radyo Kalibo interview.
Cadag said the fire fighters and volunteers had difficulty entering the building due to thick smoke.
“May mga pintura, krudo, thinner at ibang flammable materials sa loob ng building, nahirapan din tayo na i-kontrol ang sunog,” he added.
Cadag said the fire reached the second alarm before it was declared fire out at 4:30 a.m. The fire has been put under control at 7 a.m.
A concrete wall prevented the fire from spreading to neighboring residential houses in the area.
BFP arson investigators are still investigating the incident and the actual cause of fire. Cadag said they cordoned the incident area to prevent the unauthorized entry of persons pending the results of mapping and ground investigations.
No one was hurt during the fire.
