History
2019 Orion fire
On January 29, 2019, a massive fire burned down over 900 houses in Sitio Depensa, Barangay Kapunitan, killing 1 person, injuring 50 persons, and affecting 1,018 families, or 6,131 individuals. The blaze was attributed to children who carelessly played with matches and afterwards mistakenly tried to douse the flames with gasoline. The fire was able to spread quickly since the sitio consisted mostly of bamboo houses, most of which stored gasoline for fishing boats. The town was then placed under state of calamity.[5][6]
Geography
Orion is a city located in the southern part of Bataan Peninsula directly south-southwest of San Fernando, Pampanga (the regional city center) and south of Balanga (the province capital), accessible via the Roman Superhighway.
