A fire killed 15 people in a small apparel factory in a Philippine residential area, where firefighters were delayed by flooding, traffic and a wrong address, a fire protection official said.

Most of the victims appeared to be factory workers and carpenters who were sleeping in rooms in the factory when the fire broke out on Thursday morning.
