Five dead, 38 injured in Philippines firecracker depot blast

MANILA: &nbsp, Five folks, including a four- year- older kid, were killed in a huge explosion at a scenes warehouse in the southeastern Philippines, emergency services said on Sunday ( June 30 ).

According to fire investigator Luigi Chan, the Saturday evening fire at the Zamboanga City webpage caused a significant hole in the ground, sent particles flying into local homes, and set off a blaze, according to fire investigator Luigi Chan.

Four inventory workers and the four-year-old child of one of the staff were killed, according to Chan.

The town crisis department confirmed the death toll and reported 38 more serious injuries, including eight for the victims.

Authorities said they are looking into the cause of the blast, which left a 20-meter volcano, destroyed the depot’s walls, and poured rubble onto a nearby sweet drinks factory, a grains and flour warehouse, and neighborhood homes.

According to Chan,” The most likely cause of the fire is the visuals stored at the warehouse.”

He claimed that the storm radius covered more than 3, 000 square meters and that firefighters were forced to work overtime to manage the fire for more than two hours.
