00:03 The fire in Happyland, Tondo, Manila was extinguished.
00:06 Let's talk to the residents there with the first live news of James Agustin.
00:10 James.
00:12 Ganon, before 7 o'clock this morning, the BFP continued to extinguish the fire that occurred in a residential area.
00:22 It was here in Barangay 105, Happyland, Tondo, Manila.
00:25 Around 120 houses were burned.
00:30 The residents of Barangay 105, Happyland, Tondo, Manila were burned by a huge fire before 3 o'clock in the early morning.
00:39 The fire spread quickly to the adjacent houses made of light materials.
00:44 The BFP raised the third alarm because the operation is difficult.
00:48 After almost 40 minutes, it was raised to the fourth alarm.
00:52 The fire has been going on for more than an hour in the residential area.
00:56 From the footbridge I'm building, you can see how big the fire is that is being responded by the firefighters.
01:04 The firefighters set up on the roof of the houses so that the water can be brought closer.
01:09 The residents of Patuong Melopez Boulevard each saved their own equipment.
01:13 The fire trucks are also placed there, so the southbound lane of the road is not passed.
01:18 Marietta was only saved with a few items.
01:21 She was the first to save her daughter who has special needs.
01:24 The images of the saint are like a wild dog.
01:27 I was shocked when I saw the fire next to us. I don't know where it came from.
01:33 Senior citizen Ms. Rebecca was also saved with a few images of the saint.
01:38 She is very thankful that they were able to save her mister who is sick.
01:42 It's very difficult. Our house was burned.
01:45 We were only able to exchange the roof. We tried to buy a new one.
01:48 I tried to exchange it so that we won't be helped.
01:52 This is all I have.
01:54 It's a big challenge for the residents, especially when they celebrate Christmas without a house.
01:59 They are calling for help.
02:01 Our house was also newly built last year.
02:05 Now it's burned again. We have nothing to do.
02:09 I hope the kind-hearted people will help us to rebuild our house.
02:14 What's important to us is that we have our things and our bed.
02:21 In Matala, Igan, this morning here in Mel Lopez Boulevard,
02:29 in front of the residential area, the traffic is still heavy,
02:32 especially in the northbound lane that goes to Navotas.
02:35 But here in the southbound lane, the road is open and there is a lane that the motorists can pass.
02:41 According to the BFP, 240 families were affected by the fire,
02:47 equivalent to 1,500 individuals.
02:51 The BFP said that the house was already on fire, but they are still trying to find out where it was.
02:56 That's all the latest from Tondo, Manila.
