A massive fire destroyed about 600 homes Sunday in a shantytown outside the Philippines capital, displacing some 2,500 families, fire officials said.
The fire started at about 4 p.m. (4 a.m. ET) in the slum near Manila and was under control four hours later, fire officials at the Quezon City fire department said.
There were no reports of casualties from the blaze. Five firefighters suffered minor injuries.
