A fire broke out at the "We Do Recover" rehabilitation center in Cebu City last Friday evening. According to the security guard Eddie Algora, the fire started in one of the rooms on the second floor and he fought the flames with a fire extinguisher until it was empty. The Cebu City Fire Station was called and Deputy Chief Jovito Abelgas said they raised the fire to second alarm and had it under control within 10 minutes of arriving. An electrical problem may have caused the fire as the center had previous electrical issues, and no injuries were reported with damages estimated at P200,000.
