00:005 wounded and 18 houses were burned in Barangay Tandang Sora in Quezon City.
00:10We have the first news, James Agustin.
00:18The residents of General Avenue in Barangay Tandang Sora, Quezon City,
00:24woke up to the blazing fire last 11 o'clock last night.
00:26The fire spread quickly to the nearby houses made of light materials.
00:31The first alarm was set on the Bureau of Fire Protection.
00:34Romy Sponde was in the 18th firetruck,
00:37as well as the fire volunteer groups.
00:39They were covered with thick, smoky clothes.
00:42They were forced to hang from the roof of several firetrucks
00:44so that water could flow near them.
00:46Residents who were affected ran to the front chapel.
00:50Some of them were not able to save anything,
00:52like Helen's family.
00:54We heard a scream,
00:56then I opened the window, and the fire was already big.
00:59It was right in front of our house,
01:01so I went down.
01:03We all went down.
01:04Michelle's family also experienced the same situation.
01:06They are very thankful that they were able to save their whole family.
01:09Our houses were made of light materials,
01:12so it was really fast.
01:14And it was empty,
01:16so almost all of the neighbors
01:18went inside.
01:21They just took a shortcut to the other houses.
01:23What's important is that our families are safe,
01:26because if there's a lot of equipment, it will help a lot.
01:29Five residents were injured.
01:31The first rescue team was immediately dispatched,
01:34including a 13-year-old woman
01:36who was injured in the knee while escaping.
01:39A man was bitten by a dog in Binti.
01:42Because the barangay residents
01:44were not able to go down to the 18th house that was burned,
01:46the total number of families affected was still unknown.
01:50We will first send modular tents.
01:52If ever there's no fire here,
01:54we can bring firewood to our barangay.
01:57Of course, we will also provide relief to them.
02:01The BFP also investigated the fire,
02:04including the total value of the firewood.
02:06What's involved here is a two-story residential informal settler.
02:10The origin of our fire is the ground floor
02:13in the bedroom of the said house.
02:15It took more than an hour before the fire was completely extinguished.
02:19This is the first news.
