BACOLOD CITY, Philippines – A firefighter was electrocuted as he and his colleagues were putting out a fire that destroyed 13 houses in San Carlos City, Negros Occidental on Monday.
Fire Officer 3 Ricardo Catalan might have touched a live wire while performing his duty, according to Superintendent Fred Trajeras, officer-in-charge of the Negros Island Region fire bureau.
