Electrical overload may have caused Tabok fire — fire probers

Senior Fire Officer 2 Edgar Vergara of the Mandaue City Fire Station, said in a phone interview that this was because they found out that the area had several boarding houses with no permits, with several electrical extensions and this could have caused the electrical overload that could have possibly started the fire.

However, Vergara said that they could not get specimens of the burned wires or of the transformer that could have helped them in their investigation because the residents might have already took the burnt wires and could have already sold it to junkshops.Last Sunday’s fire in Upper Tabok destroyed 40 houses leaving 333 individuals homeless.Meanwhile, the Mandaue City government will give the 333 fire victims cash assistance.

Prayers for all out there!
