Fires hit Malabon and Navotas over the weekend in northern Metro Manila, authorities reported yesterday.
The first fire recorded at about 6:15 p.m. Sunday, was a big brushfire that raged for nearly an hour before it was put out at 1091 McArthur Highway in Barangay Potrero, Malabon City.
SFO4 Job Santisteban, Malabon City fire bureau chief, said the fire took place at the area where an ice plant manufacturing plant previously stood before it burned down last Jan. 5, 2004. The fire was put out at about 7:05 p.m. before it could spread to nearby houses.
