Two separate fire incidents broke out in Dagupan City and Baguio City over the weekend, leaving millions in damage but no casualties.

In Dagupan City, an ancestral house on Gomez Street, Barangay 4 was gutted by fire morning on Sunday, September 8, 2025.

Residents noticed thick smoke around 6 a.m. and called authorities immediately.

“Pagdating po namin doon, yung structure is made up of light materials kaya mabilis na kumalat yung apoy,” FCInsp. Lakan Jun Eland Wanawan, marshal of the Dagupan City Fire Station, said.

The family who owned the house was attending church when the fire started, leaving them with nothing to save.

“Malungkot po pero kakayanin sa awa ng Diyos. Yung mga pagsubok kakayanin na lang po. Magpanalangin na lang po,” Sol Macanlalay, the homeowner, said.

The blaze lasted for almost an hour and caused an estimated P200,000 in damages.

Meanwhile, in Baguio Ciy, a fire broke out evening on Saturday, September 6, 2025 at the basement of Maharlika Livelihood Complex.

Guards on duty first saw smoke around 9 p.m. and inspected the parking areas from the first to the fifth floors, but found nothing. Upon entering the basement, they saw heavy smoke.

The fire burned for nearly eight hours before being declared out at 5:04 a.m. the following day.

Authorities estimated the damage at P18 million, with 65 stalls in the basement affected.

Investigations are ongoing into both incidents as of press time.
