HUGE FIRES RAZES PHILIPPINES SHANTIES, KILLING 3
A huge blaze believed to have been ignited by firecrackers razed nearly a thousand shanties and killed three people in a creekside slum in Manila.
Strong winds fanned the flames racing through nearly a kilometer (half a
mile) -long row of shanties in a village in suburban Quezon city in
metropolitan Manila before dawn Thursday, said village officer Noel
Carino. Firefighters struggled to get near the burning shanties because
of narrow alleys.
