KALIBO, Aklan – Properties estimated to be worth P2.5 million went up in smoke after fire charred a commercial establishment in this capital town around 3:55 p.m. on Sunday.
Arson investigators of the Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) said the two-hour blaze totally gutted the Overtime KTV, Discobar and Resto and partially damaged the adjacent Zapa Inn-D’Sapa Lodge in Barangay Andagao.
“Mabilis kumalat ang apoy dahil gawa sa light materials ang nasunugan,” said Provincial Fire Marshall Superintendent Nazrudyn Cablayan.
Cablayan said fire investigators have yet to identify the cause and origin of the fire.
The BFP reported no casualties in the incident and declared a “fire-out” around 5:55 p.m. (With a report from Akean Forum/PN)
