MANILA, Philippines — Two people were injured and around 100 families were left homeless after fires broke out in two cities in Metro Manila on Monday.
The Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP)-National Capital Region said chefs Erickson Silvestre, 27, and Nelson Mabilin, 49, of the Red Rhino restobar in Mandaluyong City were treated for first-degree burns on their bodies after a gas leakage caused a fire.
The fire at the restobar in Barangay Highway Hills occurred at 5:48 p.m., the BFP said in a report.
Meanwhile, around 100 families were displaced after a two-hour fire broke out in a shantytown in Barangay Damayang Lagi, Quezon City yesterday afternoon.
A staff at the barangay hall said around 100 families or 355 people were relocated to an evacuation center.
There were no casualties in the fire, based on data from the barangay hall.
Probers are conducting an investigation to determine the cause of the fire.
