BACOLOD  CITY – A fire hit  four classrooms  at  University of St. La Salle-Integrated School (USLS-IS) here past midnight yesterday, the Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) said.

The 15-minute fire destroyed three classrooms and damaged one. Estimated destruction reached more than P1 million, but no one was injured.

The blaze, put out at 12:45 a.m., was believed to have caused by a faulty wiring in an electric fan inside one of the classrooms. The affected school building is one of the oldest structure in the campus.

Due to the fire, classes from kindergarten to Grade 4 have been suspended until Nov. 29.

The USLS-IS includes the kindergarten, grade school, and high school departments.*NLG
