00:10 A man was forced to pull his body from the debris of the fire in San Juan last night.
00:19 The fire volunteer was already struggling.
00:22 He was only holding the head of the rescued person.
00:25 He was carrying wood, iron and steel.
00:29 The victim was wearing a helmet but the steel broke through his head.
00:35 The victim was tried to be revived within an hour.
00:38 But he was also brought back to life.
00:41 Some of the victim's relatives were rushed to the hospital when they heard about the incident.
00:46 We raised him. He grew up with us.
00:49 That's why it's sad.
00:54 He grew up with us. He was also raised by my brother.
00:59 He sleeps with us. He always sleeps with us when he washes.
01:03 That's why it's sad that this happened to him.
01:07 He's very dedicated. That's why his headquarters are always sleeping.
01:11 The victim, CK Oliver, was recognized as a fire volunteer.
01:15 We were all inside. There were two more houses that were burning inside.
01:20 We heard the collapse of one of the houses.
01:25 We thought that there was no patient inside.
01:30 When we went around, we found out that one of our colleagues was trapped inside.
01:35 It hurts for us.
01:37 Especially since we've been together for a long time.
01:40 It hurts to know that our colleague was trapped inside.
01:46 The victim was released after the fire was extinguished.
01:50 But he was hit by a part of the collapsed terrace.
01:54 He was also injured in the collapse of the house.
01:57 Luckily, he was only able to survive the collapse.
02:01 The fire started at 5.40pm yesterday in three houses in Barangay Batis.
02:07 The fire spread quickly because of the light materials inside the houses and the adjacent houses.
02:14 While I was assessing the situation, I saw that the oil depot was on fire.
02:20 I decided to tap the oil depot from second to third to protect it.
02:29 If the oil depot is damaged, the fire will have a bigger impact.
02:35 So, our fire reached the third alarm.
02:38 The fire happened near the oil depot.
02:41 The firemen also came here to put out the fire.
02:46 The fire reached 50 houses and the damage was around 1.5 million pesos.
02:52 The 80 families will spend the night at the evacuation center in San Juan Gymnasium.
02:59 When our neighbor told us to go down, we went down.
03:04 We didn't have anything else to save.
03:06 I went back to get my children's school supplies.
03:11 I saw that the fire was bigger than I thought.
03:14 According to the residents, the fire was overheated.
03:19 But the Bureau of Fire Protection is still investigating it.
03:23 The fire was declared out at 8pm last night.
03:26 Two more evacuation centers were added to the barangay.
03:30 One is for the isolation of the families with children.
03:34 More than 20 individuals were isolated.
03:37 The LGU and several private sectors sent food to the evacuation center.
03:43 Each family also has tents.
03:45 The victims could be in the evacuation center for two weeks.
03:50 According to the BFP, almost 400 individuals were affected by the fire.
