Several persons were injured while about P1.5 million in properties were turned into ashes when 65 houses were razed by fire yesterday morning at a squatters’ area in Barangay 10 near the San Juan Street station of the Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) in Bacolod City.
The fire left more than 200 families homeless.
