| BFP warns of substandard The Bureau of Fire Protection in Dumaguete City yesterday reiterated its warning against the irresponsible use of pyrotechnics, defective Christmas lights and overloaded power outlets. Fire chief Arnulfo Sayson said Christmas lights that are sub-standard and left unattended for several hours, could start a fire. He said an electrician should be consulted on the proper use of Christmas lights. Plugging several decorative lights in a single power outlet could lead to overload and cause short circuits, and exposed electrical wires and defective light bulbs can lead to electric shock, he added.. |
| Cops probe blast An explosion that rocked a riverside community in Dumaguete City at around 3 a.m. yesterday is being linked to the alleged turf war between two groups believed to be involved in the illegal drugs trade. Supt. James Goforth, Dumaguete Police chief, said the blast in Purok Sampaguita, near the Banica River in Barangay Calindagan, caused minor damage to two houses made of light materials. Luckily, no one was injured, he added. Some residents were roused from sleep by a loud explosion, and witnesses said they saw a man running away. |
