00:00Let's go back to the fire on Isla Puting Bato in Tondo, Manila where more than 60 families were affected.
00:07In the middle of evacuating the residents, there were also robberies.
00:11We have first live news with James Agustin. James.
00:19Iga, one of the BFP's fire stations that burned down 30 houses in Isla Puting Bato in Tondo, Manila overheated their appliances.
00:25It was here in Isla Puting Bato in Tondo, Manila earlier.
00:29It was difficult for the firemen to operate because of the narrow road.
00:33It was at the end of the residential area that was affected by the fire.
00:41The residents of Puruc Cinco of Isla Puting Bato in Tondo, Manila were greatly affected by the fire.
00:46It was around 2 a.m. earlier.
00:48The 5th alarm was quickly activated by the Bureau of Fire Protection.
00:52Almost 60 firetrucks responded.
00:54Because Puruc Cinco was at the end of the residential area,
00:58the firetrucks were placed at the Compound of Manila International Container Terminal or MICT
01:03so that water could flow nearby.
01:05A fireboat was also used at Manila Bay.
01:09Other residents helped in extinguishing the fire using buckets and an old refrigerator that was filled with water.
01:15They also pierced the wall between the residential area and MICT so that it could be evacuated immediately.
01:21Elan was only saved by a few clothes.
01:24When I stood up, there was a big fire at the end.
01:28So we stood up straight.
01:30This is what we were able to extinguish.
01:32It was difficult, sir. The fire started again.
01:34The situation of Arlene's family was also like that.
01:37Her grandson was only able to extinguish one washing machine and a few clothes.
01:41We just heard that there was a fire.
01:43When I looked down, the fire was already there.
01:47I didn't know if I was going to go down.
01:49I couldn't stand it anymore.
01:51Jessa Karga is the one-year-old daughter of Jaret.
01:54She was hit by the tools that her husband worked so hard for.
01:57We heard that there was a fire.
01:59When we went out of the house, the fire was already big.
02:03We went out because the house was so close to each other.
02:06It was difficult, sir, because my husband's family members were also burned.
02:14In addition to the fire, a few young people also tried to steal.
02:17Jeanette was very surprised that there were a lot of goods in her Sari-Sari store
02:21that were stolen after they ran away.
02:23A lot of things went inside the house that I didn't know about.
02:27I don't know who carried the goods.
02:32The people who helped us returned the goods to us.
02:38It took more than two hours for the fire to completely extinguish.
02:42According to the BFP, 30 houses were burned.
02:44Her family members were also affected.
02:47It was a very narrow path.
02:50There were a lot of people.
02:53We were allowed to go inside.
02:56That's why we were blocked for immediate fire suppression.
03:01In the ICTSI area, there was a lot of dust.
03:10That's why we had to use ladders to access the firefighting operation.
03:18The BFP also reported the fire that started in two houses.
03:22One of the houses they were looking at overheated the appliances.
03:26They said that it started in the appliances but we did not relay there.
03:34We will conduct our own investigation regarding that.
03:39We will get the ashes and debris and also the electrical wiring
03:45for examination in our national office.
03:48The residents who were burned called for help.
03:51I hope we can be helped here in Isla Puting Batok.
03:56I hope all the people who were burned can be helped.
04:03According to the BFP, no one was injured in the incident.
04:08The initial cost of the fire was only P150,000.
04:13The residents who were burned returned to the residential area
04:18to find out if they can be helped.
04:20While the others are just continuing with their families.
04:23A lot of people will spend the whole day there
04:27and go to the evacuation center that was taken care of by the authorities.
04:31That is the first news from Tondo, Manila.
