The fire incident in our school way back 2015.

I was a Grade 10 student when the fire in our school happened. We were having a class that time when one of the utility personnels shouted for help because our two story-building consisting of Principal’s office, Guidance Counselor’s Office, Disbursing Office, Record Room, School Clinic, two classrooms for Grade 8 students and one kitchen room were swallowed by fire.

Our teacher immediately stopped the discussion and asked us to immediately get out from the room and go to the safest place which was in the field. Since the fire is not that near in our building, we decided to help our teacher to evacuate the important documents and stuffs.

The fire incident happened at exactly 10:45 am and it takes time for the firemen to respond because our school was located in a remote area in our Barangay. Looking at our classrooms and building swallowed by the fire is indeed traumatic. I can see the devastated faces of our teachers, students, staffs and Principal. There were also teachers who got fainted because they worried for the students’ important documents. The firemen arrived at 11:35 am and it’s too late for them to control the fire which made the building totally burned and destroyed.

According to the report, around P1.3-million worth of properties were damaged. The initial investigation revealed that the fire started from the kitchen at the second floor of the building. Fortunately, no one was harmed from that incident.

This is the only photo I gathered from the incident because some were taken down due to some reasons.

There was also a gossips that the fire was intentional because we have a new principal that time and according to my classmates, the former school of our new principal was burned also after he reported for duty. To make things clear, the fire was intentional because the new principal wanted to burned all the documents from the former administration. He wanted everything to be new para kapag may palpak na nagawa ang former administration, hindi siya madadamay. But that was only a gossip and I’m not believing it also.
