Along with the start of Fire Prevention Month, another fire broke out in a territorial enclave in Cavite City on the night of March 1.
According to reports, the fire began when a minor faulty electrical wire short-circuited at a house in Sitio Quadra, Brgy. 22-M, and it was immediately taken down.

The first incident happened on February 12 in a residential area known as ‘Palace’ in Brgy. 24 were dispersed over neighboring barangays, raising the alarm level to five.
