00:00A family was burned in Isla Puting Bato in Tondo, Manila early this morning.

00:06The fire was caused by an overheated appliance.

00:10James Agustin reports.

00:17Residents of Poruc Cinco of Isla Puting Bato in Tondo, Manila were badly burned

00:22around 2 a.m. this morning.

00:24The fifth alarm was quickly activated by the Bureau of Fire Protection.

00:28Almost 60 firetrucks responded.

00:31Because Poruc Cinco is at the end of the residential area,

00:34firetrucks were placed at the Compound of Manila International Container Terminal or MICT

00:39so that water can flow nearby.

00:41A fireboat was also used in Manila Bay.

00:45Other residents helped to reduce the fire using buckets

00:49and an old refrigerator that was filled with water.

00:52They also pierced the wall between the residential area and MICT

00:56so that it can be evacuated immediately.

00:58Elan was only saved by a few clothes.

01:00When I stood up, there was a big fire towards the end.

01:04That's why we stood up like this.

01:06This is the only thing we were able to save.

01:08It was hard, sir. The fire started again.

01:10Arlene's family's situation is also the same.

01:13Her grandson was only saved by a washing machine and a few clothes.

01:17We just heard the fire.

01:19When I looked down, the fire was already there.

01:23I didn't know if I was going to go down.

01:25My hair was all messed up.

01:27Jessa Kargang is Jaret's only one-year-old daughter.

01:30She was pierced by the tools that her husband worked hard for.

01:34We were told that there was a fire.

01:36When we went out of the house, the fire was already big.

01:39We went out because the house was just next to each other.

01:42It was hard, sir, because we didn't have anything.

01:46My husband's family members were all burned.

01:50Because of the fire, a few children were also robbed.

01:54Jeannette was very surprised that there were a lot of goods in her Sari-Sari store.

01:58They were shocked after they ran away.

02:00A lot of people came into the house that I didn't know.

02:04I don't know who brought the goods.

02:09The people who helped us returned our goods.

02:14It took more than two hours for the fire to completely go out.

02:18According to the BFP, 30 houses were burned.

02:2170 families were affected.

02:23It was a very narrow path.

02:26There were a lot of people.

02:29We were forced to go out.

02:32That's why we were blocked for immediate fire suppression.

02:38In the ICTSI area, there was a lot of smoke.

02:47That's why we had to use ladders to access for firefighting operations.

02:54The BFP also found out about the fire that started in two adjacent houses.

02:59One of the houses they were looking at overheated the appliances.

03:03They said that the fire started in the appliances.

03:09But we didn't go there to relay.

03:11We will conduct our own investigation regarding that.

03:16We will go and get the ashes and debris and also the electrical wiring for examination in our national office.

03:24The residents who were burned called for help.

03:28I hope we can be of help here in Isla Puting Bato.

03:33I hope all those who were burned can be of help.
