CEBU CITY, Philippines — Firefighters in Cebu City and neighboring areas had their hands full early today, February 8,  as two separate fires, happening barely an hour and a half  apart, hit separate barangays in Cebu City, destroying a total of 45 houses and displacing a still undertermined number of families.

City firefighters rushed to Sitio Paradise 2 in  Barangay Kinasang-an due to another fire alarm that was rang at 4:34 a.m.

The second fire happened as another group of firefighters had just doused the blaze that broke out at 2:30 a.m. and destroyed 15 houses in Barangay Tinago. The Tinago fire was  placed under control 30 minutes later, or at 3:04 a.m.

When the Kinasang-an fire broke out, the City Fire Department was still to declare a fire out in Tinago.
