Fire doused in 2 minutes

The fire incident that was reported earlier this evening in Barangay Sawang Calero in Cebu City was put out in two minutes.

SF01 Marichel Caburnay, of the Cebu City Fire Department, told Cebu Daily News that they received the fire alarm at 9:51 p.m. involving a house in the area but it was declared fire out at 9:53 p.m.
