00:15Vel Custodio of PTV in Balitang Pambansa.

00:20A raging fire engulfed more than 1,000 houses in Tondo, Manila around 8 a.m. yesterday.

00:28Isla Puting Bato was engulfed by a black smoke.

00:32Some houses were literally without a structure after the fire.

00:37The fire spread quickly because most of the houses were made of light materials.

00:43It was accompanied by wind, so the fire spread to five villages in Barangay 20.

00:48Helicopters from the Philippine Air Force arrived one after another

00:52to pour water on the burnt houses.

00:55Bureau of Fire Protection firetrucks in Metro Manila were also on full force

00:59to help extinguish the fire.

01:02Ambulances, rubber boats, and Philippine National Police were dispatched

01:06to respond to the evacuees.

01:09According to BFP, it was difficult for the trucks to enter because of the narrow streets.

01:14Residents also rushed to pick up their belongings that were saved.

01:19That's why BFP and Fire volunteered at the container terminal

01:24to get closer to the burnt houses.

01:36Based on the initial information, the fire started in Puruk 3,

01:40but it was still considered as a burnt house.

01:50So we're still gathering interviews from the direct witnesses

01:56on what they saw.

01:59Based on BFP, 2,000 families or 8,000 individuals were affected by the fire.

02:07Residents scattered on the streets.

02:10At that time, we were sleeping there.

02:13We were surprised by the noise of the fire.

02:18When we went outside, we saw that the smoke was really strong.

02:24Residents now have a problem on how to recover, especially now that it's Christmas.

02:30I'm just a driver.

02:32I don't know how to start again.

02:36How can I rebuild my house?

02:41I called the LGOs. I hope they can help my neighbors.

02:45It's really a burnt house.

02:47How can we recover?

02:49We don't know.

02:51At the Del Pan Sports Complex, the evacuees are still being evacuated.

02:55BFP is still investigating the damage caused by the fire.

02:58I hope we will be aware of the things that can cause a fire.
