THREE crew members were reportedly injured in a fire that broke out on a cargo vessel at North Harbor in Tondo, Manila, on Wednesday evening.
According to a report by the Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP), thick smoke was seen emanating from the MV Meridian Dos Tacloban at around 7 p.m. while the vessel was anchored.
The fire reached the second alarm, but firefighters were able to quickly respond and declared a fire out shortly after.
