The Mt. Ulap Fire
Last night, January 22, 2018, as were driving home to Philex Mines, we witnessed this wildfire along the Sta. Fe Ridge, right below the famous Mt. Ulap. 8:00 p.m. when the Philex Safety was at the road cautioning the upcoming vehicles. The Philex Fire Truck also went to the site. Kudos to you guys!!!
