A big truck, a bus, and a van were particularly affected by the fire.
Witnesses said they heard several explosions before the fire started.
The BFP is now looking at the possibility that firecrackers were being carried by one of the trucks, which might have caused the fire. —Giselle Ombay/KG, GMA Integrated News
