The fire also burned a gray Mitsubishi Adventure car (UOA 905) that was parked nearby.
Mendoza said the cause of the fire, which reached second alarm, and the damage cost have yet to be determined.
Fire trucks from this coastal town and Supt. Virgilio Villena Rubio, police officer-in-charge; and his patrol team have responded to the scene.
