Two fires broke out in Metro Manila before dawn on Monday, one in Quezon City and one in Manila.
The fire in Quezon City hit a plastics melting factory in Barangay Nagkaisang Nayon, according to a report by Nico Waje on Unang Balita.Roberto, a stay-in worker, had burns on his face and body after he used the fire extinguisher and it backfired.Residents nearby brought out some of their belongings, hoping the fire would not reach them.
Quezon City District Fire Marshall Fire Senior Superintendent Aristotle Bañaga said they had difficulty putting out the fire since the material in the warehouses were plastic. The factory melts plastic that could be made into plastic pellets which other factories use in making furniture. "Medyo malawak ang lugar. Dalawang warehouse, dalawang establishment. Medyo nahirapan kami sa kadahilanang ito ay plastic," he said.Bañaga said the fire started at the workers' barracks at the back of the factory.The factory owner meanwhile declined to issue any statement.Meanwhile, a fire broke out past 4 a.m. in Gate 62, Parola Compound, Binondo, Manila, according to a report by Darlene Cay on Unang Balita.
