MANILA, Philippines -- Line 1 of the Light Rail Transit (LRT 1) has resumed operations except at the Carriedo Station in Manila, near which a fire had broken out, LRT spokesperson Jinky Jorgio said.
LRT 1, which runs from Baclaran to Monumento and back, resumed almost full operations as of 4:30 pm, Jorgio said in a phone interview.
However, passengers are still not allowed on or off LRT trains at the Carriedo Station because it is near the still burning Good Earth Emporium.
The fire, which broke out around 5:40 a.m., remains at fifth alarm but is now contained, according to the Manila Bureau of Fire Protection.
