Fire of still unknown origin destroyed a residential house and a scrap iron shop in Lucio Lopez Drive, Barangay Calamba, Cebu City on Friday morning.
Initial investigation conducted by the Bureau of Fire showed that the blaze started from the room of the nephew of Normalinda Uy Villegas at 10:23 a.m. and was controlled 15 minutes later.
SFO2 Ronald delos Reyes said the fire may have been triggered by an overheated electric fan inside the room of Jefferson Uy although this had yet to be confirmed by their investigators.
Delos Reyes said the fire was controlled immediately because the house where the scrap iron shop was located was just along the road.###
