However, the fire led to a traffic slowdown, with congestion stretching up to around four kilometers at the height of the incident.<div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/news/nation/2024/12/7/1-dead-5-injured-in-multi-vehicle-collision-in-para-aque-1417">READ: 1 dead, 5 injured in multi-vehicle collision in Parañaque</a></div>To manage the situation, authorities opened the zipper lane, which eased the traffic while emergency responders worked to contain the fire.Two lanes remained passable including the additional two lanes for the zipper lane.Emergency teams from NLEX and the Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) Pulilan quickly responded to the scene, and the vehicle was towed away by past 10 a.m.The scene was cleared and traffic flow returned to normal shortly after.The incident was handed over to the BFP Pulilan for further investigation.
