Fire hits AFP barracks in Camp Aguinaldo

From Rappler (Oct 4, 2020): Fire hits AFP barracks in Camp Aguinaldo (By RAMBO TALABONG)



No casualties are reported

A fire razed a barracks of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) on Sunday, October 4, spokesman Brigadier General Edgard Arevalo confirmed.

In a phone call with reporters, Arevalo said the fire hit a barracks building inside the J2 (military intelligence) compound within Camp Aguinaldo in Quezon City at around 1:20 pm. The blaze was put out before 2 pm.

"What was burnt was the 3rd floor, which serves as the quarters of enlisted personnel," Arevalo said in a mix of English and Filipino.

There were no reported deaths or injuries.

Arevalo said the cause of the fire has yet to be determined.

The Sunday blaze is the second fire in two years inside the military camp, following the fire that hit a storage facility in March 2019.
