00:11Here's the hot news brought to you by James Agustin.
00:18The residents of Barangay Zapote 1 in Baco, Orcavite woke up to a fierce fire and heavy smoke
00:24at 5 a.m. this morning.
00:27The fire spread quickly to the nearby houses.
00:31The third alarm was set on the Bureau of Fire Protection.
00:34Romis Ponde was on their 13th firetruck.
00:37Aside from the fire volunteer group,
00:39other firefighters went to the vacant lot to bring water.
00:44There were also those who climbed on the roof of the nearby establishment.
00:47Residents on the streets rushed out with their belongings,
00:51like Dexter, whose appliances were taken out.
00:55Our doors were on fire.
00:59When I got out of the house, I checked where the fire was.
01:05It was just behind us.
01:07His nephew, Melissa, just cried.
01:10His house was burned down, even though it was a living sarisari store.
01:14The resident, Carmenita, was only able to save a few pieces of clothing.
01:18When our neighbors shouted,
01:20the house was on fire.
01:22When we got out of the house, we couldn't save anything.
01:25We were only able to save a few pieces of clothing.
01:28But her neighbor and niece, Sheena,
01:30couldn't save anything.
01:32We didn't know how to get up and start again.
01:36Everything we saved was gone.
01:39The house was on fire after more than two hours.
01:42According to the BFP, most of the houses were made of light materials.
01:46That's why the fire spread quickly.
01:48They even set fire to the roof of the house.
01:50The area is very small.
01:53So we made sure that the troops could access it quickly.
01:58That's why there are vacant lots here.
02:00There are other business establishments that we talked to
02:04so that we can open their makeshift walls
02:09so that we can penetrate.
02:10According to the barangay, 200 houses were burned.
02:14300 families were affected.
02:16According to what I heard,
02:18the garbage man started the fire in his house.
02:24Then it started to burn.
02:26In the middle of the day,
02:28people couldn't get up.
02:31The fire was too high.
02:33While the families of the barangay's covered court were affected,
02:37modular tents are being built.
02:39Residents are calling for help.
02:42I hope we can help.
02:45So that we can somehow survive.
02:47I don't know who has a good heart
02:50that wants to help us.
02:52We accept anything.
02:54Just a little help for us to get back on our feet.
02:59It's hard for us.
03:01We lost everything.
