The cause of the 50-minute blaze that razed about P400,000 worth in properties in Bacolod City yesterday is still being probed by fire bureau investigators.

The fire that started at the house of Johnny Yulo at the corner of Rosario-Henares streets, in Bacolod at about 4 p.m., burned down his two-storey residence and damaged three neighboring structures, including two commercial outlets, FO1 Felomino Lopez of the Bureau of Fire Protection, said.

Vivian Pabulac, 29, sustained cuts on her arms and was helped by volunteer paramedics but no serious injuries were reported, Lopez said.

The blaze, which reached the second alarm, was put out by seven fire trucks from the BFP and the Amity and Chamber fire brigades, he said.*PP
