Crap... Wheel Gallery? Hope it's nothing serious...

Sabi daw total loss... Hope they are insured.

The fire that is gutting the Wheel Gallery (Concept One) showroom on Santolan Road in Greenhills, San Juan. Kindly avoid the area if you're driving so firetrucks may get to the place easily. (Photo from Nic Uyliapco)

Our source said an acetylene tank exploded.

Fire out...that was fast. Hope they can recover quickly...

S***. I just saw the pics on FB... what a drag man. Sayang yung shop.

Hope Sammy's insurance is paid-up. That's a real expensive fire, given the cost of the stock they have on the premises.

Kinda OT: San Juan fire responds quickly. Swerte di na traffic. One fire station is just beyond that corner behind the firetruck. Another is a kilometer behind this POV naman. Used to live on Pasadena and when the apartment block a few lots away from us went up in flames the trucks were there in less than 15 mins. No other buildings were affected.

I could have used this piece of news a couple of hours ago... I spent 90 minutes in traffic trying to navigate through and trying to find my way out.

Looks like the Vice Mayor was there directing things.

Somebody working there probably saw the molten alloy on fire ants video. Ayun, natuluyan nasunog.

Main office, showroom of Concept One (Wheel Gallery) gutted by fire

Main office, showroom of Concept One (Wheel Gallery) gutted by fire

The main showroom of wheel-and-tire specialist Wheel Gallery was destroyed by fire today. The shop, which sells the popular Concept One brand of alloy wheels, is located at 318 Santolan Road in Greenhills, San Juan. According to Manila Standard motoring writer Dino Directo--who rushed to the scene together with Top Gear Philippines columnist Aris Ilagan--the fire started at about 1:30pm and was put out at around 3:30pm.

Newspaper columnist Cito Beltran, who also went to the venue, told TopGear.com.ph that the explosion of an acetylene tank caused the conflagration.

Aside from Concept One, Wheel Gallery also distributes other wheel brands like Black Rhino, BBS, Carlsson, Kelleners Sport and TSW, as well as the tire brands Nitto and Saffiro. The destroyed property also housed the offices of the Philippine distributor of Bilstein shock absorbers and H&R coil springs.

Directo added that squatters living nearby managed to break into the burning building and steal a number of valuable items, including the laptop computer of a Wheel Gallery officer.

At this time, our thoughts and prayers go out to our dear friend Sam Liuson, managing partner at Wheel Gallery. We're sure a man of his faith will bounce back from this tragedy in no time at all.

We dispatched our biggest fire apparatus (Metro Tanker) and our E.M.S. unit (Metro Rescue) to the scene. It reached up to 3rd alarm.

Wala naman nasaktan, doc?

[OTEP]

Wala po pero may mga nag looting daw from the informal settlers in the area. Hindi agad na control
