CEBU CITY, Philippines—A blaze hit hit the office of the National Labor Relations Commission-Central Visayas along Osmeña Boulevard in Cebu City on Thursday night.

The fire started at the section where the files were stored.

FO2 Rey Gonzaga said sparks from the ceiling fan fell to the pile of documents, creating a small fire. But the fire was put out at 8:15 p.m.
