Investigators are looking into possible electrical misuse but other angles are also being considered.
Last March 4 a shanty burned to the ground in barangay Luz, investigators are still looking into the incident.
March has been declared Fire Prevention Month because most of the fire incidents happen during this month owing to the heat.
Based on the records of the Bureau of Fire Protection-7 most of the fires are caused by electrical misuse because almost all households have appliances that require electricity.
BFP has been campaigning for fire prevention not only during March but all year round. They also organize barangay and civilian fire brigade volunteers, information drive and fire drills in different localities. — Edwin Ian Melecio/BRP
