One of the rooms in a local hotel as well as seven houses were damaged and even reduced to ashes during two separate fire incidents in the city last Sunday resulting to P1.1 million in damages.

Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP-10) fire officer Noel Carretas told Gold Star Daily yesterday that around 11:24 p.m. Sunday they received a call from a certain Mariel Balido reporting that Room 101 of Discovery Hotel at Osmeña-Floretina Street was on fire.

He said they immediately rushed to the area and was able to contain the fire that would have devoured the whole establishment.

“Our fire investigators are still in the area to determine what actually caused the incident,” he said adding that so far the estimated damage was placed at P200,000.00.
