ORION, Bataan - A fire at dawn of Wednesday gutted down a two-storey building at the commercial district in this town and turned into ashes P5-million worth of various merchandise.
Building owner Angelito Inton said the building was filled with newly delivered merchandise like medicines, canned goods and other grocery items.
“Natutulog kami sa itaas nang biglang may pumutok ng malakas, tapos pagbaba namin may usok na at mabilis na kumalat ang apoy na kahit tsinelas wala kaming nadala,” Inton said.
His wife was crying while being comforted by friends and relatives.
Senior Fire Officer Reynaldo Tuazon, Orion fire chief, said they are still investigating the cause of the fire and the damage it has caused. He said they received a call about 3:30 a.m. and “we immediately responded.”
Fire was placed under control at 4:30 a.m. with five firetrucks from nearby towns responding.
Operating in the burnt building include the Bataan Convenience Store, Liwayway Drug Store and Michelle Bakery.
Inton suffered some bruises while bringing out from the burning building his wife, mother and children.
