00:03 Good evening, Kapuso!

00:05 I'm your Kuya Kim,

00:06 and I'll be giving you trivia

00:07 behind the trending news.

00:09 The hot news right now

00:10 is the left-right grass fire

00:11 that's happening in the country.

00:12 Just like what happened in Bacolod,

00:14 where not just one,

00:15 but two grass fires

00:17 are hitting hectares of land.

00:19 [fire crackling]

00:23 The heat of the time in Bacolod City,

00:24 in Negros Occidental,

00:26 is even more intense

00:27 [fire crackling]

00:28 than the heat of this grass fire.

00:30 [fire crackling]

00:31 The fire spread quickly

00:32 to two hectares of land

00:33 in the boundary of Bacolod and Alisay City.

00:35 On the morning of April 2,

00:37 we received a call,

00:39 "grass fire!"

00:40 [siren]

00:41 We made a defense

00:43 in the populated areas.

00:44 We used natural firebreaks.

00:47 The grassland is covered by hectares.

00:50 We couldn't directly fire it.

00:53 We were able to fire it out

00:54 at around 9 a.m.

00:56 But after more than 7 hours,

00:57 Bacolod City Fire Station

00:59 received another report.

01:00 [fire crackling]

01:01 Another grass fire

01:02 was found near the area

01:04 where the first fire was.

01:05 We were called to a separate location.

01:07 But we realized that

01:08 the area was also

01:09 affected by the morning fire.

01:11 There were embers left.

01:14 We were able to fire it out

01:15 at around 8 p.m.

01:17 Did the heat of the time

01:19 in the grass fires in Bacolod

01:21 [fire crackling]

01:22 [siren]

01:23 "Kuya Kim,

01:24 why are the grass fires so intense?"

01:26 "Kuya Kim, what's going on?"

01:27 "Kuya Kim, what's going on?"

01:28 [explosion]

01:29 There are many reasons for grass fires.

01:31 It can be due to desire.

01:32 It can be due to the amount of cigarettes

01:33 being thrown everywhere.

01:34 And it can be due to the loudness.

01:35 The hotter the weather,

01:36 the more likely the grass fires are.

01:38 Because in hot weather,

01:39 the area becomes drier

01:41 and things become more flammable.

01:43 What are the reasons

01:44 for the two grass fires

01:45 that happened in Bacolod?

01:46 There are activities inside.

01:48 Cigarettes are being thrown.

01:49 People are cooking.

01:50 People are cooking.

01:51 There are people melting gum.

01:53 Basically, it's a result of human activities

01:55 and neglect.

01:57 Just last month,

01:58 205 fires were reported in Bacolod.

02:00 131 of them were grass fires.

02:02 To prevent more grass fires

02:04 from happening in the city,

02:05 the Bureau of Fire Protection

02:07 conducted what's called

02:08 controlled burning

02:09 or prescribed burning.

02:10 We are making the blocks of grass

02:11 manageable.

02:13 And we are slowly burning them.

02:15 That's also part of our strategies

02:17 to make sure that it's gone

02:18 and we don't have to go back.

02:20 What can we do

02:22 to avoid grass fires

02:23 in hot weather?

02:24 [music]

02:28 To avoid grass fires,

02:30 we should be careful

02:31 when using fire outside our homes.

02:33 Avoid leaving unlit cigarettes,

02:36 candles, and other things

02:37 that can start a fire.

02:39 It is also prohibited

02:40 to cut leaves

02:42 and burn garbage.

02:43 Be careful

02:44 when you cook or grill outside.

02:47 And it's better to keep the surroundings clean.

02:49 Make sure there's no dry grass

02:51 or plants that can be the cause

02:53 of a fire.
