KIDAPAWAN CITY — A house was destroyed by fire after being struck by a firecracker at 10:30 p.m. on Tuesday, December 24, on Bautista Street, Barangay Poblacion.
Kidapawan City Chief of Police Lieutenant Colonel Dominador Palgan Jr. confirmed that authorities were alerted to the fire, and the Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP-Kidapawan) responded quickly.
However, by the time firefighters arrived, the blaze had spread significantly. They quickly worked to prevent the fire from reaching nearby homes.
The house, owned by the Napoles family, was made of wood and light materials and was vacant at the time, as the family was on vacation. Preliminary reports suggest the fire was caused by a firecracker.
