On February 1, 2017 at around 6:00 p.m. (UTC +8), a fire hit the House Technology Industries, Ltd. factory inside the Cavite Export Processing Zone in General Trias, Cavite.[4]
Incident
[edit | edit source]On February 1, around 746 employees were at work when the fire started according to Brig. Gen. Charito Plaza, director-general of Philippine Economic Zone Authority (PEZA).[5] At 9pm, the third alarm was immediately raised.[5]
Aftermath
[edit | edit source]The fire was officially out at 4:15pm on February 3.[6] Remulla said that some survivors suffered about 70% to 90% burns to their bodies.[7]
The claims that there were fatalities which authorities tried to cover up were refuted by Remulla.[6] The fire resulted in five fatalities who all died in hospital and not during the fire incident.[8]
