BFP: NCR fire incidents at 9
The Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) in the National Capital Region (NCR) logged nine fire incidents on New Year's Day 2025.
While an unofficial tally shows nine incidents, only one has been officially confirmed by the BFP national headquarters so far.
The confirmed incident was a third-alarm fire that occurred in a general merchandise building in Malabon City.
The causes of the fires are under investigation, with potential links to fireworks being considered.
No injuries or casualties have been reported in connection with any of the incidents.
The number of fire incidents on New Year's Day 2025 is significantly lower compared to the 54 recorded cases in 2024.
BFP officials attribute the decrease to increased public awareness on fire prevention during New Year's revelry.
