The Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) said a liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) tank that exploded caused the fire that trapped and killed 11 people inside a residential-commercial building in Binondo, Manila, on Friday, August 2.

The BFP said that the fire started at an eatery on the ground floor of the 4-story building with mezzanine at the corner of Nueva (former Yunchengco Street) and Carvajal Streets.

The victims, who were boarders in the building, were reportedly trapped inside while they were sleeping. The BFP and SOCO personnel retrieve 11 bodies wrapped in body bags.
