Based on Commission on Election's (Comelec) initial report sent to DZRH, a fire hit Ruminimbang Elementary School in Brgy. Ruminimbang, Barira on Saturday morning, Oct. 28.
&ldquo;The incident resulted to the burning of Grade 1 to Grade 4 classrooms of the said school. No casualty is reported,&rdquo; it said.&nbsp;
According to the poll body, the fire incident is possibly &ldquo;connected with the upcoming BSKE 2023 since the burnt classrooms are to be utilized as polling precincts.&rdquo;
Brgy. Ruminimbang is classified as a red category or election area with grave concern, according to Comelec.&nbsp;
Meanwhile, a fire also blazed classrooms in Dalican Pilot Elementary School in Brgy. Dalican Poblacion, Datu Odin Sinsuat on the same day.
