D.M. Consunji, Inc. said the massive fire that happened on Saturday in Pandacan, Manila did not originate from its construction yard.
“Videos taken by various netizens clearly show that the fire started outside our work area,” it said in a statement on Tuesday.
“In addition, according to the Bureau of Fire Protection, the fire broke out at around 10:38 a.m. or more than 30 minutes before the warehouse inside our construction yard caught fire at around 11:15 a.m.,” it added
But it said it would cooperate with any investigation to determine the real cause of the fire.
The company made the statement after news reports citing an initial investigation said the fire was a freak accident that could have likely started from its construction yard and spread to a nearby plastics warehouse that was moving out.
