3-year-old, 3 others dead in Pasay City fire

A three-year-old child and three others died in a fire at Tengco Street, Barangay 106 and 107 in Pasay City, on Friday, August 21, 2026.

In a “24 Oras” report by Athena Imperial, the Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) said the victims were unable to escape their homes in time. The toddler and another victim were found embracing each other.

The fire broke out in the area around 1:00 p.m. and reached the second alarm. Authorities declared the fire out by 4 p.m.

Based on the BFP's initial investigation, the exploding LPG tank triggered the sudden blaze. The fire spread rapidly because the house was constructed from light materials.

An earlier report by Super Radyo dzBB's Luisito Santos said four residents sustained burns and other injuries. Firefighters and rescuers provided them with assistance.

Around 30 families were affected by the fire, according to barangay captain Salvador Vargas.

Residents and firefighters worked together to refill the water tanks of responding fire trucks as their water supply was running low.

Residents also evacuated their pets from the area as the fire spread.

Authorities have yet to provide information on the number of affected houses, casualties, the cost of damaged properties, as well as the cause of the fire. —Joviland Rita/Lyjah Tiffany Bonzo/AOL, GMA News
