Lada said the fire was declared as a second alarm and fire trucks from Liloan, Mandaue City and Eruf responded and assisted their station.

Lada said there was no report yet of the fire’s estimated damage, nor the cause and origin of the blaze, as their investigator, SFO1 Renato Lakang, was still aboard the ship some few kilometers from the shore as of press time.

The Filipino-owned shipyard is named after its owner David Villono, said Consolacion Police Station duty officer SPO1 Romulo Sasing.
