00:00Three boy scouts were injured after a fire broke out in a campsite in Zamboanga City.
00:05That's why the gathering of more than 2,000 boy scouts was cancelled.
00:09Joseph Moro has this report.
00:15The boy scouts set up their tent early in the morning in Abang-Abang Freedom Park.
00:19Today is the first day of the Zamboanga City Council Jamboret.
00:22But the gathering that broke out in the fire was attended by 15 scouts while in the campsite.
00:29Three of them were killed.
00:30The victims were senior high school students.
00:43According to the captain of the barangay,
00:44the scouts were helping to move a tent when the incident happened.
00:49This is a live wire.
00:51They brought it to the campsite in Bumangga.
00:55They set it on fire.
00:57Twelve of them were taken to the hospital.
00:59Some of them were seriously injured.
01:01Because of what happened, the activity was cancelled and more than 2,000 boy scouts were sent home.
01:06Their area is not safe.
01:09If there are activities, the children should be 100% safe.
01:15The boy scouts of the Philippine Zamboanga City Council will take full responsibility of what had happened.
01:20What happened was something unforeseen and nobody wanted it.
01:25The task group of the Zamboanga LGU came forward to investigate.
01:29But how can we always be prepared in case there is a fire?
01:32Experts remind us not to touch the victim of the fire.
01:36Instead, use wood or dry clay to separate the victim from the fire.
01:41Let the victim rest if he needs CPR.
01:45Bring the victim to the hospital immediately.
