Fire hits Binondo building
A fire broke out in a commercial building in Binondo, Manila on Saturday morning. The blaze started at 10:30 a.m. on the 5th floor of the PAM building, located at Claro M. Recto, corner Sto. Cristo Street. The Bureau of Fire Protection reached second alarm, and was put under control by 11:45 a.m. and declared out by 12:27 p.m. There were no reported casualties, but the fire caused an estimated damage of P480,000. The cause of the fire is still under investigation. However, arson investigators are looking into the possibility that the fire was caused by an electrical fault or by a cooking accident. The fire has caused the closure of the PAM building for the time being, with the owners working to assess the damage and make repairs. Residents of Binondo and other parts of Metro Manila were urged to be vigilant and to take steps to prevent fires. The BFP handed some tips on how to prevent fires, including keeping flammable materials away from heat sources, and installing smoke detectors and fire extinguishers. Building owners were encouraged to have a fire escape plan and to practice it regularly. “Be aware of the fire risks in your area and take steps to mitigate them,” the bureau said.

Fire at iconic Post Office under control, damage extent unknown
The massive fire that razed the iconic Manila Central Post Office building has been declared under control by the Bureau of Fire Protection at around 7:22 a.m. Monday. Considered a national landmark with its neoclassical architecture, the building was engulfed in fire that reportedly began around midnight. A general alarm was called to salvage the structure which was considered a masterpiece by Juan Arellano and Tomas Mapua. It began construction in 1928. But World War 2 left it heavily damaged until it was reconstructed in 1946 It was designed to nestle at the foot of the Pasig River, the better to transport letters via boat. It also fronted what is now known as Liwasang Bonifacio, which has access to Manila’s busiest districts then like Quiapo. Binondo and Ermita. BFP has yet to issue a statement on the extent of damage as well the cause of the fire. It hasn't been used much in the past few decades as people prefer emails and other high-tech gadgets in sending messages to the traditional "snail mail."
