An 84-year-old woman confined to bed due to her advanced age died in a fire early Wednesday morning, May 27, 2020, in sitio Bugna, barangay To-ong here.
Labangon Police Station desk officer Police Corporal Andy Bayarcal told CDN Digital through a phone interview that an old lamp run by kerosene may have caused the fire that led to the death of Patria Geralla.
”Possible nga gi tanaw ron kay wa man gud ni kurente didto, unya kani kuno siya tig gamit og lampara nga kerosone, basin na patiran or unsa,” he said. When the responders reached the area, the house–made of light materials–was totally burned with Geralla in it. “Ang iyang son-in-law ang naka bantay nga na sunog ang maong balay, apan pag abot sa lugar, wala na gyud ni matabang,” he added.
Police said Eleuterio Ewikan, the son-in-law, lives a couple of miles away from the house of Geralla. /bmjoThe comments uploaded on this site do not necessarily represent or reflect the views of management and owner of Cebudailynews.
