NO CASUALTIES REPORTED

Three separate fire incidents broke out in different barangays in Lapu-Lapu City yesterday, leaving multiple structures damaged but resulting in no reported injuries or fatalities, according to the Lapu-Lapu City Fire District.

The first incident occurred at 5:19 A.M. in Sitio Marbeach, Barangay Marigondon. Firefighters from the Marigondon Fire Station responded within minutes and arrived at the scene by 5:22 A.M.

The blaze involved a residential property owned by Aireen Dales, which was reported totally burned. The fire was placed under first alarm and was declared under control at 5:30 A.M., before being fully put out at 5:35 A.M.
