      Huge Fire In Philippines Engulfed Nearly 800 Homes, Displacing Families

      People work on boats near the rubble of damaged houses following a fire that engulfs at least 800 houses in Bacoor, Cavite, the Philippines, on September 12, 2024. The fire breaks out in the early hours of September 10 and displaces nearly 1,000 families, forcing many living in poverty to take shelter in nearby evacuation centers where assistance and relief efforts are provided. The accident occurs in a densely populated compound with houses mainly made of iron sheets, wood, and combustible materials built within narrow streets, making it difficult for rescuers to conduct emergency operations, according to local media reports. This is one of the major fire disasters that makes Filipinos homeless this year. Research and reports by NGOs find that heightened electricity straining power lines, as well as combustible materials such as dry leaves, grass, and garbage susceptible to ignition from sun exposure or discarded cigarettes, are some reasons why the Southeast Asian country is prone to fire.
