MANILA, Philippines — Fire swept through a residential compound in Pasig City, on Saturday, killing a boy and injuring his mother.
The blaze broke out at Pupha Compound in District 4, Barangay Pinagbuhatan, catcing residents off guard as flames spread quickly through the home.
Firefighters confirmed the first alarm at 2:22 a.m. and worked for 20 minutes to place the fire under control before declaring it out at 2:46 a.m.
The boy, 4, was recovered from the fire but died as he was being revived.
Michael Santos, chief of the Pinagbuhatan Action Center and one of the first responders, said the boy’s mother tried to save him.
She sustained second-degree burns on both arms and was rushed to the hospital where she was in stable condition, according to the initial medical assessment.
Residents later lit four candles in the compound for the boy.
The Bureau of Fire Protection said nine fire trucks and one ambulance responded to the call, with crew arriving at the scene within minutes.
Initial investigation showed five families, or a total of 13 individuals, were affected.
