Firefighters arrived late to a blaze that killed 14 people in the Philippines Thursday. Their delayed response was caused by traffic, flooding, and receiving the wrong address.
Some were found dead on an aisle outside the rooms and the factory owner and his child were among the dead, Chief Superintendent Nahum Tarroza of the Bureau of Fire Protection said.
Three people survived with injuries by jumping off the second floor of the two-story factory in panic, Tarroza said. The three were taken to a hospital.
