A fire hit on Wednesday a seven-storey building in Manila City that houses the Maritime Industry Authority (Marina).
The fire at the PPL Building on 1000 U.N. Ave. corner San Marcelino Street in Paco District started at 4:02 am yesterday (Wednesday) and has yet to be put out as of 7pm.
The Bureau of Fire in Manila City said the fire originated at the 5th floor of the building. Marina occupies the 5th to 7th floor of PPL building.
The cause of the fire is still under investigation.
The fire reached Task Force DELTA alarm at around 7:39am, requiring all fire stations in Metro Manila to respond.
Marina officials complained the apparent slow response of firefighters, making it impossible to save pertinent records in its office.
As of 4:37pm, the status of the fire is still at confined level, meaning, it is no longer spreading.
The fire station said there is no casualty reported from the incident.
PPL building is owned by Don Emilio Yap, owner of Manila Bulletin./DMS
