00:00 After the incident that was captured on camera, we will investigate and judge the incident.
00:04 No one was saved, but was caught on cam.
00:07 Caught on cam, the 18 vehicles parked in the outdoor pay parking of IA Terminal 3 were hit.
00:15 It was possible that it started with a grass fire, especially thick and dry mud, according to Manila International Airport Authority, MIAA.
00:25 Most of the parked vehicles had a flight and were being left there for several days.
00:30 Caught on cam, the fire was spreading in the Heritage Church of St. Ferdinand Parish in Ilican City, Isabela.
00:40 Some items in the church were burned, such as chairs and some images.
00:46 It was also discovered that the fire was caused by electricity.
00:51 So how can we avoid such fires and what can we do if we are already in such situation?
00:59 We have with us Richard Andrew Roces, senior officer from the Bureau of Fire Protection, Quezon City. Good morning.
01:06 Good morning.
01:07 This is the first video that we showed earlier where the parked vehicles were burned.
01:12 How was this avoided and the 18 vehicles were not affected?
01:18 It is important that we have a fire extinguisher in our vehicles.
01:23 It is a big help just in case we have our own emergency or the vehicles around us.
01:30 We can help to avoid any fire.
01:34 So it's okay to have a fire extinguisher inside the vehicle?
01:37 Yes. We advise that every vehicle has a fire extinguisher just in case we need it.
01:44 Some people say that it can also be the cause of fire. You know, alcohol is left behind, some people say it's the smell.
01:51 Is it possible that these are flammable materials?
01:53 Yes. These materials, since the ignition temperature is low, can evaporate immediately when the weather is hot.
02:03 So we cannot say that because of the hot weather and the vehicle has no ventilation, it can start a fire.
02:10 Will it be a demo? What is the first thing? Is it the same as the one that comes from a machine? The one that is not a grass fire. The one that suddenly starts a fire?
02:21 Yes. Most of the time, it is the electrical. Especially if we have changed something in our vehicle, like lights or speakers.
02:28 Usually, that is the one that starts a fire. So make sure that if we will do that, we will really ask experts or the house to do it.
02:36 So that's what it will do. It's usually electrical.
02:42 Yes.
02:42 In our second video, the church was burned. What can we do if you are inside a house that is being burned?
02:50 So if you are inside a house that is being burned, if we can go out immediately, we go out immediately and ensure that we have counted our companions in the house or facility where we came from.
03:03 And then if there is smoke inside the structure, we need to stay low or low in the space.
03:10 So you are crawling?
03:11 Yes. Because cleaner air is available in a lower place because the gas is up there.
03:18 Actually, many people die from suffocation because there is no oxygen.
03:23 Yes. So in the smoke, it comes first in the fire. Even if there is no fire in the same place where we are standing, the smoke is already there. So that's what usually traps us in the fire.
03:33 So, additional tips for those who are watching now to avoid fire. Go ahead.
03:38 So, when using our electrical, make sure that you check your electrical connections.
03:49 And then when we are cooking, we should not leave the things we are cooking.
03:54 Usually, when we leave it like that, it will catch fire.
03:59 One more.
04:01 So, when there is fire, we should turn off the source of fire or our stove and then cover it with a lid.
04:16 If our lid is not available, we can use a wet cloth.
04:20 Just make sure that the surface area of our cloth is bigger than the lid.
04:25 We will avoid the oxygen that will enter where the fire will die.
04:29 Usually, in the karenderyas that are burning, when the lights are turned on in the early morning because they are cooking, their LPG is trapped. It should be outside.
04:36 Yes.
04:37 Or if you really have a doubt that there is a leak, just wet the regulator.
04:42 That has a soap. We can see if there is a leak in our hose.
04:46 Thank you very much Senior Fire Officer Richard Andrew Roces of Bureau of Fire Protection, Quezon City.
04:52 Accidents, crimes and fires are dangerous. We will investigate those.
04:57 Because from now on, there is no blind spot when it comes to salvation.
05:02 We will focus on that in our Caught on Cam. Thank you.
