It is reported that some PHP 1 million worth of property went up in smoke after a fire broke out at a steel pipe factory in Taguig City Friday night.
Senior Fire Officer 1 Mr Douglas Modomo said that the fire broke at the Italit Develoment and Construction Corp along Labao street in Barangay Napindan at around 11:30 PM.
Mr Modomo said the fire, which reached the third alarm started at the chemical room located at the second floor of the building owned by a certain Ramon Reyes.
The fire was put out an hour later, when some 14 fire trucks rushed to the scene. No one was reported injured in the incident.
Mr Modomo said it was fortunate that the fire happened late at night when no worker was in the building. He added they are still conducting a follow up investigation to determine what caused the fire.
