The power line that caught fire was located near a commercial building at the EDSA-Reliance area.

The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority said the power line caught fire at around 9:44 a.m. and was put out at 9:57 a.m.

The fire forced the MMDA to temporarily close the yellow lane in the area.
