Davao City residential fire kills 2, razes 70 homes

Though it only lasted some 30 minutes, a Tuesday afternoon fire in Davao City's Barangay 76-A was so intense that it killed two residents and razed some 70 homes.

GMA 7 late night news program "Saksi" reported that among the fatalities was an 87-year-old resident. An 11-year-old also went missing after the fire.

Local authorities are still trying determine what caused the fire, and assessing the damage caused. — DVM, GMA News
