QC barangay hit with fire and flooding

Residents of Barangay Apolonio Samson in Balintawak, Quezon City were beset by both fire and flood as four houses went up in flames over the weekend in the midst of rains brought by the enhanced Southwest Monsoon.

According to a report on 24 Oras Weekend, firefighters had to deal with waist-deep floods to douse the blaze.

Fortunately, only minor injuries have been reported, including one resident who hurt her foot by jumping from a second storey, and another who received a shock from a dangling cable. — BM, GMA News
