BAGUIO CITY, Benguet, Philippines — Almost 2,000 vendors in this city were displaced in a two-hour fire that gutted two major sections of the Baguio Market between late Saturday and early Sunday. The Office of the City Social Welfare and Development opened its doors on Sunday to provide emergency financial aid to displaced vendors affected by the fire that struck the city market at 11 p.m. Firefighters were able to stop the blaze from spreading at 1:13 a.m. on Sunday, but it took four more hours for the conflagration to completely die down, according to Baguio Fire Marshal Supt.
