A residential area near Mindanao Avenue in Brgy. Bagong Pag-asa, Quezon City was engulfed in fire on Saturday morning.
The fire started at 5:50 a.m. and was raised to a second alarm at 5:53 a.m. Thirty minutes later, firefighters from the Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) declared the fire under control at 6:26 a.m. and was fully extinguished at 6:53 a.m.
Nearly 50 light-material houses were damaged, and around a hundred families were affected in the residential area.
BFP Quezon City Station 1 Commander Rodrigo Delos Santos revealed that the area was also affected in a previous fire incident in November 2025, involving identified informal settlers.
“The origin came from a two-story light-material residential structure,” the fire senior inspector added in a media interview.
The cause of the fire is still under investigation, with no recorded injuries or fatalities in the incident.
