Firefighters from BFP and fire volunteers continued to put out the fire.

As of 8:12 a.m., the fire has been placed under control.

According to BFP Valenzuela, no one was reported injured or died.

Around 800 firefighters, rescue personnel, and social workers responded to the fire incident, the Valenzuela City local government said.

Meanwhile, Carlo Mateo reported on Super Radyo dzBB that firefighters used chemical foam to control the blaze.

No other houses or buildings were damaged.

The large volume of plastic products and the size of the establishment made it difficult for firefighters to put out the fire.

After more than 48 hours, the Bureau of Fire Protection declared the fire out at 6:12 p.m.

Christian Maño reported that authorities are still investigating the cause of the fire and assessing the extent of the property damage. — Mariel Celine Serquiña/KG/DVM, GMA Integrated News
