A fire that broke out in several facilities in Guimbal, Iloilo, has caused over P1.7 million in damage, according to the Bureau of Fire Protection.

The blaze in Barangay Nanga destroyed a classroom, a daycare center, and a barangay hall stockroom, according to Sevein Hope Gegantoca’s Tuesday report on Super Radyo DZBB.

The Guimbal fire station said the blaze started in a Grade 6 classroom before spreading to the other two facilities. The classroom and daycare center were completely burned.
