CEBU, Philippines - An early morning fire hit an establishment for interior designs yesterday along F. Cabahug Street, Mabolo, Cebu City.
The Cebu City Fire Department responded to the alarm at Comfac Global Group at around 7:03 a.m.
Senior Fire Officer Daniel Relatado Jr., fire investigator, said that the fire was under control at 7:10 and was declared fire out at 8:16 a.m.
Upon investigation, he revealed that the fire was due to an electrical short circuit.
Before the fire, the guard, who was on duty at the time of the incident, reportedly heard a big explosion inside the building.
Nine fire trucks from Cebu City and other fire trucks from neighboring barangays responded to the alarm.
