FIVE members of a family, including an eight-year-old girl, on Wednesday night were killed in an explosion in a suspected illegal fireworks factory in Malasiqui, Pangasinan.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Due to the force of the explosion, the body of one of the fatalities was recovered on a tree in the area.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The illegal firecracker factory that exploded was located in the middle of a field in the boundary of \u00a0Tabo-Sili and Calbueg.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Malasiqui Vice Mayor Daria Mamaril told newsmen that prior to the blast, the victims’ family was reportedly renting the property.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The property used to be a piggery, which the owner closed.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Barangay officials said they were unaware that the place was being used for firecracker production.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mamaril said the explosion, which was heard throughout the town and even in neighboring localities, was reported around 7:30 p.m. Wednesday.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Personnel of the Bureau of Fire Protection and the local police immediately responded and found the bodies of the victims in the area.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Mamaril directed the president of the Association of Barangay Captains (ABC) to conduct inspections in barangays to determine if other properties are being used for firecracker production without their knowledge.<\/strong><\/p>\n

An investigation is ongoing.<\/strong><\/p>\n
