Fire can destroy your house and all of your possession­s in less than an hour, and it can reduce an entire forest to a pile of ash and charred wood. It's also a terrifying weapon, with nearly unlimited destructive power. Fire kills more people every year than any other force of nature.

.....IT MIGHT take two days for firefighters to control the blaze that hit Metro Ayala Center Cebu Friday evening, an official said. Cebu City Disaster Risk Reduction Management Office Chief Nagiel Bañacia said that as of 3 a.m. Saturday, firefighters who managed to enter the mall's building are still working hard to stop the fire from spreading to the main mall area. The blaze started at the toys stockroom in the third floor of the Metro Ayala department store around 9:30 p.m. Friday, January 5, said the Metro Gaisano management in a statement. The Bureau of Fire Protection raised the alert level to Task Force Alpha, which means fire trucks from nearby cities have to respond. As of 3 a.m. Saturday, the fourth floor of the Metro Ayala building has collapsed, said Bañacia.( source Sunstar Daily)
