00:00 The fire that broke out in Balongbato, Quezon City is under control.
00:05 And for the first news, live, James Agustin is back.
00:09 James, how is the situation there?
00:12 Marie, it took almost 3 hours for the fire to be completely controlled.
00:20 In a construction and furniture store here in Balongbato, Quezon City.
00:26 At 6.42am this morning, the Bureau of Fire Protection or BFP declared the fire under control.
00:32 Before that, the fire reached the second alarm.
00:34 15 fire trucks of BFP were required to respond here in the area,
00:37 as well as fire volunteers.
00:39 It was 4am when the fire started.
00:42 The employees immediately went out.
00:45 But 3 of them were required to be rushed to the hospital
00:48 after they were hit by bullets to the body.
00:51 It was difficult to evacuate because of the furniture made of wood.
00:55 They added painted, varnished and steel objects.
00:59 So firefighters used chemicals to speed up their operation.
01:03 Some employees said that the fire started in the production area.
01:06 They tried to extinguish the fire but they couldn't.
01:10 They also helped in evacuating the vehicles
01:13 that were parked in front of the establishment.
01:16 We are still trying to get the warehouse manager's report
01:19 to find out how many employees were inside when the fire happened.
01:24 This morning, Fire Senior Inspector Ronel Singhontian
01:27 and Station 6 Commander of BFP Quezon City
01:30 investigated the fire that started on the ground floor.
01:34 Meanwhile, Marie, as you can see,
01:38 the smoke is still thick coming from the establishment.
01:41 We can see that the firefighters are using breathing apparatus.
01:46 But as you can see, the smoke is now more intense
01:50 compared to when the fire was really big.
01:54 Because it's now under control, according to BFP,
01:57 it's not possible for it to spread to the next establishment
02:00 because next to it is a warehouse that contains a freezer.
02:05 As for our fellow motorists,
02:08 the West Service Road that leads to Quirino Highway
02:12 in Barangay Balumbato is still not passed
02:13 because it's still full of fire trucks that were responding to the fire.
02:17 First of all, from Quezon City,
02:18 I'm James Agustin for GMA Integrated News.
