A fire hit a residential area near Mindanao Avenue in Barangay Bagong Pag-asa, Quezon City, on Saturday morning, affecting around 100 families.
The fire started at 5:50 a.m. and was raised to second alarm three minutes later, according to the Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP).
Firefighters declared the blaze under control at 6:26 a.m. and fully extinguished it at 6:53 a.m.
Nearly 50 light-material houses were damaged in the incident.

“The origin came from a two-story light-material residential structure,” Delos Santos said in a media interview.
Authorities said the cause of the fire remains under investigation. No injuries or fatalities were reported.
