THE Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) has confirmed that no documents related to the ongoing investigation into flood control anomalies were located in the Bureau of Research and Standards (BRS) building that caught fire in Quezon City earlier today.
In a statement released following the incident, the DPWH clarified that the BRS is responsible for conducting research, studies, pilot testing, and formulating policies for government infrastructure projects.
Initial findings suggest that the fire originated from a computer unit inside the Materials Testing Division, reportedly due to an explosion.
The DPWH also confirmed that no employees were harmed during the incident. An investigation team has been deployed to assess the extent of the damage and to prevent similar incidents in the future. The DPWH stated that further updates will be provided as additional information becomes available.
