00:15 The Central News from Taibian, Manalo.
00:18 The fire that broke out in a warehouse that contained various hardware materials
00:28 in Barangay Bagbagin, Valenzuela City.
00:31 Around 12.30 in the afternoon yesterday, the Bureau of Fire Protection received a call
00:37 from a concerned citizen that a warehouse was on fire.
00:42 Because of the rapid fire, the BFE immediately raised the second alarm.
00:49 It became difficult for the firefighters to extinguish the fire
00:53 because of the flammable material inside the warehouse that caused the fire to spread quickly.
00:59 It was a narrow path, which made it difficult for the fire trucks to enter.
01:05 The fire spread too quickly.
01:09 So we have to protect our personnel.
01:11 We immediately retreat because the behavior of fire was totally,
01:19 the structure was totally engulfed by fire.
01:22 According to the initial investigation of the BFP,
01:25 the fire started in the left side of the storage.
01:28 More than 40 fire trucks responded, most of which started from nearby villages.
01:35 We really protected that's why we stayed here.
01:40 We need a number of fire trucks.
01:43 Because if there's a fire in a house,
01:49 there's a chance that the 200 structures of the residential house will be destroyed.
01:54 Four evacuation centers were visited by the local government,
01:59 where more than 200 families, or around 800 individuals, are currently being affected by the fire.
02:09 No one was injured and no houses were damaged.
02:14 The local government also provided assistance to the affected residents.
02:19 We were given clothes, soap and shampoo,
02:28 and food.
02:34 The fire was estimated to cost around 50 million pesos.
02:40 Until now, the BFP has not yet declared a fire-out
02:46 because of the continuous firepower inside the warehouse and the so-called explosions.
02:53 The authorities are continuously investigating the real cause of the fire.
