Baclaran fire disrupts LRT1 operations

The Light Rail Transit Authority (LRTA) on Monday cancelled train operations at the LRT-1 Baclaran station after fire hit a shopping center near the station.

LRTA management said there will be no disruption of operations of trains from Monumento station to EDSA station and back.

Firefighters said they have yet to put out the fire that hit the Mega-Plex building Sunday night. Pasay Fire chief Federico Maslang said the blaze started at the building’s ground floor where textile materials were reportedly kept.

Authorities have barred stall owners from entering the burning building.

The fire took place nearly a month after a blaze hit the Wellcom Plaza beside the LRT Libertad Station.

Last week, a predawn fire gutted the Good Earth Plaza building in Santa Cruz, forcing the LRTA to shut down operations in its Carriedo station.
