Grand Ma, 4 Kids Perish In Fire In Southern RP

BUKIDNON (Mindanao Examiner / 04 Jun) – A grandmother and four of her nieces died in a fire after being trapped inside their house in the southern Philippine province of Bukidnon, police said Monday.

Police said the five were not able to get of their burning room in the village of Agusan, in Manolo Fortich town at the weekend.

Arson investigators blamed faulty electrical wiring connection as the cause of the fire.

Police said neighbors tried, but failed to rescue the victims because of the fire had engulfed the whole house.

The children were aged between 5 and 10 and their parents were out of the house when the fire broke out before midnight. (Romy Bwaga)
