DAGUPAN CITY –– The supermarket of a major Pangasinan shopping mall was gutted by a fire that flared up at 2:45 a.m. on Tuesday (March 31).

The blaze at the CSI Mall in Lucao District had not been put out at posting time.

The Bureau of Fire Protection has not released an official report as of 1:30 p.m.
