Bogo City Fire

Nine classrooms were destroyed in Bogo City Central School 1 (known locally as Central 1) after being engulfed in flames last Sunday afternoon. The Freeman reported that the city fire department received the fire alarm at 5:06 P.M. The fire was declared under control at 5:45 P.M. and was declared completely out at 9:06 P.M.

The building that caught fire was a Gabaldon school building. Gabaldon school buildings are heritage schoolhouses built in the Philippines between 1907 and 1946. They are mostly made of wood and light materials which explains the fast spread of fire. It was also the same building that was rehabilitated by the Israel Defence Force after it was severely damaged by super typhoon Yolanda in November last year.

The fire department has estimated the damage at Php 2.5 Million. Fire investigators are still looking into the possible cause of the fire. The social hall, the library and some tents will be utilized as temporary classrooms for the 392 students that were affected.
