Bernal added that the fire alarm went off and that they tried to put it out using a fire extinguisher.

They failed because the fire spread quickly to other rooms.

The Bureau of Fire Protection raised the second alarm.

The fire was finally put out at 5:30 a.m.

No one was hurt in the incident.

The BFP said a problem in electrical wiring may have caused the fire.

Damage was initially placed at P500,000. —BAP/KG, GMA News
