Two BSP employees and three contract workers suffered minor injuries. One BSP employee suffered a leg fracture. After receiving first aid at the main medical post, the injured were referred to Sector 9 Hospital, where X-rays, ECGs, and other tests are being performed.
The cause of the fire at PBS 2 remains unknown. Two regular employees and eight contract laborers were caught in the blaze. The flames surrounded them from all sides. They ran up and down to save their lives, but couldn’t find a way out. They even went to the roof, but the smoke prevented them from seeing anything. A cable was then untied and tied to a window.
