CEBU CITY, Philippines — LPG leak may have caused the fire that damaged a dormitory located along RR Landon Street in Barangay Sta. Cruz, Cebu City.

But Fire Officer 3 (FO3) Emerson Arceo said that they are yet to verify this theory in their ongoing investigation of the fire incident that was reported at 11:01 p.m. on Easter Sunday, April 4.

Damage to property was pegged at P12 million.
