A massive fire tore through a densely populated neighbourhood in the Philippines, destroying dozens of homes and leaving more than 300 people displaced, local media reported on Wednesday.
The blaze, which broke out late on Tuesday in the Barangay area of Bacolod City, affected residents of Purok Ramon Magsaysay Dawis, according to the Philippine Daily Inquirer, citing Richelle Verdeprado-Mangga, the head of the city’s Department of Social Services and Development.
At least 103 families with 307 members were forced to leave their homes.
