Five people were hurt when a fire broke out in a residential area in San Dionisio, Parañaque City on Saturday.
Three of them, including a fire volunteer, had experienced breathing difficulties, the Bureau of Fire Protection said in a report on GMA Integrated News Bulletin.
Responders reported difficulty entering the area due to the houses being built close to one another and made of light materials.
Firefighters were able to put out the fire at around 5:55 p.m., Sam Nielsen said in a report on Super Radyo dzBB.
