MANILA, Philippines – Fire struck a plastic plant in Pandacan, Manila on Saturday morning, February 1, Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (DRRMO) Manila said.
The Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) has raised the alarm to Task Force Bravo, which means it involves the regional district and prompting for more responding fire trucks.
Reports said that the huge fire at San Miguel Corporation's warehouse along Tomas Claudio Street, Pandacan started around 10:30 a.m.
Thick smoke seen in several areas in Manila and nearby cities.
Senator and Chairman of Philippine Red Cross (PRC) Richard Gordon confirmed in a tweet that part of the ongoing construction of the Skyway has collapsed.
PRC is also responding to the fire incident. Three fire trucks and two ambulances have been dispatched to help put out the fire and to provide immediate medical assistance.
"Expect Moderate traffic on this area. BFP on site," the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) tweeted.
