THE Davao City Social Services and Development Office (CSWDO) continues to validate the names of victims of the fire in Sto. Niño, Barangay 5-A, Bankerohan, Thursday morning, November 18, 2021.

Together with the staff of Barangay 5-A, CSWDO’s Kusina ng Bayan conducted community cooking to provide hot meals to the victims of the fire.

According to the initial investigation of authorities, the fire started in Purok 17 around 6:35 a.m. inside a house made of light materials. Because the house was close to other houses, the fire quickly spread.

Around 10:10 a.m., the fire was declared under control. No one was killed in the said incident.

Further investigation is still ongoing to pinpoint the cause of the fire that razed 25 houses.
