A series of grass fires erupted in the areas of Pangasinan, Bataan, and Pampanga.

In Pangasinan, the Am-Ammotil hiking trail and a portion of the forest reserve in Mt. Balungao were affected by the blaze.

Another grassfire broke out in Mt. Malasimbu, Dinalupihan, Bataan, particularly in Barangays Maligaya and Pita.

Similarly, a grassfire occurred in Barangay Dolores, City of San Fernando, Pampanga. 

Authorities said the vacant lot filled with tall grass fueled the fire, causing it to spread quickly.

“Yung sunog nagsimula po iyan sa Greenville. Ngayon, dahil [na] open ang area malakas po yung hangin. Ngayon, ekta-ektarya na po yung sunog,” FO3 Willie Gallero, a responder from the San Fernando City Fire Station, said.

No injuries were reported.

The incidents are still under investigation, as of this writing, and authorities have yet to determine the extent of damage.
