A fire destroyed Monday night a portion of the House of Representatives building in Quezon City. Photo courtesy of Wikipedia Fire Supt. Jesus Fernandez, Quezon City Fire Marshall, said that based on their initial investigation the fire hit the north wing of the Congress building located in Batasan Hills, Quezon City, at 9:03 p.m. Fernandez said about seven fire trucks rushed to the scene and put out the fire at about 9:42 p.m. the same day. The fire only reached the first alarm. Fernandez said they are initially looking at the possibility that the cause of the fire was electrical in nature. Total damage to property has yet to be determined by arson investigators. “We are still assessing kung magkano ang naging damage dahil sa sunog,” he said.
