00:12Niko Wahe was live.

00:15Niko?

00:18Pia Yvonne, more than 2,000 families were affected by the fire that broke out this morning in Isla Puting Bato.

00:27At 8 in the morning, a fire broke out in Isla Puting Bato in Tondo, Manila.

00:34It will be extinguished this afternoon by Task Force Charlie,

00:37one of the highest fire alarms where more than 30 firetrucks are needed.

00:42Because of the strength and breadth of the fire,

00:44helicopters were needed to pour water from the Himpapawid.

00:49Two helicopters were returning earlier to pour water from the sea itself.

00:54They will be thrown and poured into the fire.

00:58Because the houses in Manila Bay were affected by the fire,

01:00the Coast Guard sent four fireboats to pump water.

01:05When we woke up, the fire was already big.

01:07I don't know, sir, how to do it.

01:12Residents did not hesitate to evacuate.

01:15I was able to pass through.

01:17I was able to jump into the sea.

01:20I was able to jump into the sea to eat.

01:25Many people went to the sea to evacuate.

01:28Those who were saved by the fire were put on rafts

01:31or were stuck in the waves of water and were thrown into the sea.

01:35We are here in Bangkadinaan because we cannot be here in the middle.

01:40Some men were carrying a dead body.

01:43Another man lost his life.

01:45According to the Bureau of Fire Protection,

01:46about 1,000 houses were destroyed and the cost of the fire was P3.5 million.

01:522,000 families were affected.

01:55Firefighters and residents were also injured.

01:58The fire started in the second floor of a house in Purok Tres,

02:01but the fire was still being extinguished.

02:04It was very difficult.

02:05First of all, there were many people.

02:08Secondly, what happened to their houses or mosques

02:18was caused by the light materials that easily burn.

02:24Thirdly, the roads were very narrow.

02:30Because it was by the sea, the wind was also strong,

02:33so the fire was getting bigger.

02:34The wall next to Manila International Container Terminal or MICT is also high.

02:39It has access to extinguish the fire,

02:41so firefighters had to use the stairs.

02:44The operation of MICT is normal.

02:47The Philippine Ports Authority reminded port users

02:50that they can directly contact MICT regarding this operation.

02:58The BFP declared a fire-out at PA Van 407 yesterday afternoon.

03:02The DSWD also ordered their NCR field office

03:05to immediately help those affected by the fire here in Isla Puting Bato.

03:10That is the latest. Back to you.

03:12Thank you very much, Nico Wahe.
