00:00A ship being assembled in a shipyard in Navotas was burned down.
00:08Two workers were killed.
00:11We have live news from James Agustin.
00:14James, what was the cause of the fire?
00:19Maris, that's what the Bureau of Fire Protection is still investigating up to this time.
00:23But their operation in the burned-down shipyard in Navotas
00:28was not the cause of the fire.
00:30Two welders were trapped in the storage room of the shipyard in Navotas.
00:39This shipyard in the barangay of San Jose, Navotas City, caught fire last night.
00:45The Bureau of Fire Protection raised the first alarm.
00:48Three firetrucks responded,
00:50as well as fire volunteer groups.
00:53According to the BFP, the storage room was burned down
00:56in the upper part of the balance of the ship being assembled.
00:59When they entered, the fire was confined.
01:02It means that it's inside and the water and the windows are limited.
01:09That's why it was difficult for our firefighters to enter.
01:14There were 20 to 25 workers working in different parts of the ship when the incident happened.
01:20Two of their colleagues were not allowed to enter.
01:23The two welders' ship was found in the storage room.
01:27They still tried to get the two victims out and revive them,
01:32but they were all caught.
01:35That's why they were both killed.
01:38Authorities are investigating the welding of the two victims in the storage room.
01:43They also found life vests and life jackets.
01:46There's a high possibility that it really came from the welding, of course.
01:50But the question is, how fast did the fire spread,
01:53and how quickly did the victims escape?
01:57The inside of the ship is very tight, especially in that portion.
02:00There's only one entrance and one exit, which is small.
02:05This is what you can see, the big manholes.
02:08It was past two o'clock in the early morning earlier,
02:11before the fire was completely extinguished.
02:13The BFP also asked if the contractor violated the fire safety code.
02:21Meanwhile, Marie, we are still trying to get the file of the ship's contractor.
02:26That's the first news from Navotas.
02:28I am James Agustin for GMA Integrated News.
02:50.
