00:00A fight between husband and wife in the midst of a blazing fire in Bacoor, Cavite,
00:05where about 1,000 families lost their homes.
00:09Witness, Rafi Tima.
00:14From Cavitex, you can see the thick and black smoke
00:17coming from the burning houses in Barangay Longos, 43 in Bacoor, Cavite.
00:21The fire spread rapidly due to the strong wind.
00:25In this drone video, you can see the extent of the burned area.
00:29It was difficult because we had to go inside,
00:32while the people had to bring their belongings outside.
00:37The path was limited in space.
00:39We were on a boat, so when we reached our house,
00:42it was already difficult.
00:43But we tried our best.
00:45More than 800 houses were burned.
00:47The fire started at 12 noon
00:49and was extinguished after more than two hours.
00:52Although it was prohibited,
00:53some residents returned to look at their belongings that could still be salvaged.
00:57The barangay was filled with emotions.
00:59It was only a month ago when their barangay was also burned,
01:03where 600 families were affected.
01:05I saw how the children were running.
01:08Even the elderly were crying.
01:11That's why it hurts me.
01:12The couple was fighting over the possible cause of the fire.
01:16We heard from them that it was already too late.
01:20When the fire started,
01:23they said that someone was going to die.
01:26It should have been reported last night to the barangay
01:28so that we would know that it didn't happen.
01:31Earlier this afternoon, an islander was arrested.
01:34The islander said that he asked why the fire started.
01:38We went to the hospital.
01:39There were a lot of injuries.
01:40The fire was caused by a fireman.
01:41In the mapping out operation of the BFP Bacoor,
01:43they confirmed that no one was injured in the incident.
01:46The number of people who were burned is still unknown,
01:48but it is possible that it reached 1,000 families.
01:51Thank God, we were all saved.
01:54No one was injured.
01:56All of our belongings were burned.
01:59We don't know where we will be staying for the time being
02:05because we don't know where we will be staying.
02:09For now, those who were burned remain in different covered courts in the nearby barangays.
