Fire hits car display in Quezon City

At least 40 cars worth about P28 million were burned in a fire that hit the Honda Cars building at the corner of Quezon and Araneta Avenues in Quezon City early Tuesday morning, a report by Jay Sabale on Unang Balita said.

Fire Sr. Supt. Jesus Fernandez said the fire started at 1:35 a.m. from the Human Resources Department that could have been caused by faulty wiring.

“Wala naman natutulog or nagluluto rito, so posible na galing sa electrical ‘yung origin,” Fernandez said.

While firemen were bombing the building with water, several explosions inside were heard.
