of gigantic proportions ich swept away the entire barrio of Calumpang in Marikina, Rizal, last Sunday afternoon, devoured 250 bouses, causing damages estimated at P100,000. Ap- proximately 1,000

people were rendered homeless.

The conflagration, which started at about three o'clock, had its ori gin in the bedroom of a house own. ed by Vicente Adriano. Owing to lack of water and fire-fighters equipment and a strong breeze which was blowing at the time, the fire spread rapidly.

There was only one known cas sualty. Private Exequiel Ballena, of the 50th Company of the Con- stabulary, who together with some 60 soldiers headed by Lieutenant Baylon, was trying to put out the fire, was struck by a piece of flying iron roof and was severely wound- ed in the head. It is feared that several other people were injured. At least one woman and her newly born child, the family of Vicente Adriano, from whose house the fire originated, were missing on Sun- day and could not be located, re- ports the "Philippines Herald."
