BEIJING, Aug 2 (Xinhua) — At least 11 people were killed in a serious fire that broke out in Manila’s Chinatown early on August 2, according to a report from Manila.
At around 7:30 a.m. local time, a five-story mixed-use commercial and residential building in the area caught fire, spreading rapidly. The Manila Fire Department responded to the call by sending 14 fire trucks to extinguish the flames. After two hours of intense efforts, the fire was successfully put out. However, rescuers found 11 bodies inside the building.
Initial reports suggest that the blaze may have been sparked by an explosion of a liquefied petroleum gas cylinder in a restaurant on the building’s ground floor. Authorities are currently investigating the exact cause of the fire and confirming the identities of the victims.
Manila Mayor Isko Moreno has said he will order a safety check on all buildings in the city, especially those over 15 years old, to prevent similar incidents from happening again.
The fire serves as a reminder that fire safety cannot be taken lightly, especially in densely populated areas of cities. Authorities should strengthen the supervision of old buildings and raise residents’ awareness of fire safety to reduce the occurrence of fire and other safety incidents. Additionally, the findings of the investigation into the fire’s cause will help prevent future similar safety issues. (End)
