A fire broke out in a residential area in Sta. Ana, Manila on Tuesday morning.
The affected area is on Onyx Street near Sagrada Familia in Barangay 775.
The first alarm was raised by the Bureau of Fire Protection at 6:12 a.m.
As the fire quickly spread, the fire reached the second alarm at 6:15 a.m, then the third alarm at 6:28 a.m., then the fourth alarm at 6:48 a.m.
With the fourth alarm sounded, 13 firetrucks were needed to respond to the fire, according to a report by Bea Pinlac on Unang Balita.
Thick black smoke could be seen in the area.
Residents tried to save whatever belongings they could.
Some residents also helped out in putting the fire.
No casualties have been reported so far.
The BFP is still determining how many families are affected, as well as what caused the fire and how much property damage it may cost.
The narrow streets in the area have made it difficult for firemen to access the affected site, according to a report by Manny Vargas on Dobol B TV.
Meanwhile, Onyx Street is not passable as of posting time due to the arrival of firetrucks. —KG, GMA Integrated News
