Bani public market fire burns 400 stalls

UP to 400 stalls were reduced to ashes in a fire that gutted the Bani Public Market at 9:00 p.m. on December 29.

As a result of the blaze, 238 vendors lost their livelihood with almost nothing saved from their stalls.

Gov. Ramon Guico III motored to Bani the following day to look into the plight of the displaced vendors.

Guico met Bani Mayor Facundo Palafox to map out plans on how to provide makeshift stalls so the affected vendors can continue their livelihood for the short term and the construction of  a new public market of the town.

Meanwhile, the Bureau of Fire Protection is still investigating the cause of the blaze. (Jovelyn Domingo/UdD)
