00:00This morning, 18 vehicles parked at IA Terminal 3 were set on fire.
00:06The area was covered with thick smoke.
00:09According to the Manila International Airport Authority,
00:12the private company is in charge of the pay parking
00:15and most of the people who park here leave their vehicles behind for several days.
00:20One of the reasons for the spread of fire is the dry grass in the parking area.
00:25The incident is currently being investigated.
00:28To discuss how to avoid this kind of accident, especially in this difficult time,
00:34we are joined by Senior Fire Officer Juan Richard Rosas
00:37of the Bureau of Fire Protection, Quezon City.
00:39Good morning to you, Senior Fire Officer Juan Rosas.
00:42Good morning.
00:43It's already a good afternoon. It's already night.
00:45Good evening.
00:47Good evening.
00:48I'm sorry, I didn't get enough sleep.
00:50Sir, what are the things that should not be left inside the vehicle
00:53so that it won't catch fire?
00:54Perfume, alcohol, what are the things that should not be left inside?
00:57Yes, we should avoid putting things that can easily catch fire.
01:00For example, our lighters.
01:02Oh, lighters.
01:03Our perfumes, our alcohol.
01:04Lighters explode when it's hot, right?
01:05Yes, there's a tendency for it to explode.
01:07Alcohol, right?
01:08Yes, and we should also avoid, for example, our eyeglasses, our magnifying glasses.
01:12There can be a magnifying effect here that will focus the heat of the sun
01:18of the sun towards one thing.
01:20Then, of course, it will catch fire.
01:22Sunglasses?
01:23Yes, there's a tendency for it to catch fire.
01:25Yes, even our bottled water, there's a tendency for it to catch fire.
01:28Oh, even bottled water?
01:29Yes, magnifying glasses.
01:30If you put it in the sun, it will focus the heat and it will catch fire.
01:33Oh, so that's how it is.
01:35In this hot weather, how can we avoid accidents like this in the vehicle,
01:40especially if it's parked?
01:42So here, we advise, for example, we can park it in a shaded area.
01:47It's better than that.
01:48So we can avoid the heat of the weather.
01:50But if we can't avoid it, we can...
01:52In a shaded area.
01:53We can lower our sun visors.
01:55So the focus of the sun will be lessened.
01:59And then, if we can, the place is secured.
02:02We can put a space in the window.
02:05Oh, so the place is secured.
02:07If the place is secured.
02:09So there's a little gap?
02:10Yes, so there's ventilation.
02:12How big of a gap can we have?
02:14Maybe half an inch?
02:15So one to two inches is okay.
02:17It doesn't fit your hand?
02:18Yes.
02:19It doesn't fit your head?
02:20Yes.
02:21That's big.
02:23Your head is like an apis.
02:24It's big.
02:25It's like an apis.
02:27If there's a trapped person inside a hot vehicle,
02:30what should we do, sir?
02:31So, for example, if we see that there's an unconscious person inside,
02:35and the weather is very hot,
02:36we can immediately break it.
02:38Or let's try to open the door first, if it's open.
02:40But if not, let's break the glass.
02:43Let's get the victim out right away.
02:45Then, let's ask for help.
02:47Sir, that glass is tempered glass.
02:48It's hard to break.
02:49How can we break it?
02:51Let's get something hard, like a rock or something.
02:54And let's avoid breaking it right next to the victim.
02:58If it's behind, let's break it in front.
03:00Then, we can get access to the vehicle.
03:04Now that it's hot, how hot can the vehicle be if it's exposed to the sun?
03:08Can you reach the burning point?
03:10There's a high chance that it will create enough heat for it to burn.
03:17So, it's better if the vehicle has ventilation.
03:21Especially if it's for a long time, right?
03:22Yes.
03:23Just for an hour?
03:24These cars are left behind.
03:25Left behind?
03:26Yes.
03:27That's for 2-3 days.
03:28They'll burn all day long.
03:29So, our advice is that if we're going to leave it for that long,
03:31it's better if we remove the connection to the battery.
03:34Because later, there might be rodents there,
03:36and our wirings might get damaged.
03:38I know, sir.
03:39I'm just going to share.
03:40If the vehicle is already burnt,
03:41and the vehicle is exposed to the sun.
03:43Yes.
03:44What are the tips that you can give to our viewers
03:47to avoid overheating when the vehicle is already burning?
03:51First of all, make sure that the vehicle is in a top condition.
03:56So, make sure that it's in a good condition before using it.
03:59Ensure that the vehicle's fluids are enough.
04:03It shouldn't overheat easily.
04:05And then, if it's parked,
04:08put it in a place that's not exposed to the sun.
04:12Sir, what is your advice to those who live in cars?
04:14It's so hot in there because of the traffic.
04:17Of course, we should apologize.
04:21Because we can't avoid it.
04:22Traffic is part of our lives.
04:24That's right.
04:25Thank you so much.
04:26And to our hot topic,
04:28Senior Fire Officer Juan Richard Rosas
04:30of the Bureau of Fire Protection, Quezon City.

04:36and the stories are funny and funny,
