00:00 How about the fire in the compound of warehouses in Pulilan, Bulacan?
00:04 We still have live James Aguilin.
00:06 James, is the fire out?
00:08 Van, the BFP people have not declared the fire out yet and their operation is still ongoing.
00:18 It is difficult to identify the fire that broke out in the adjacent warehouse.
00:22 It is here in the town of Pulilan, in Bulacan.
00:25 This is the first warehouse where there are raw materials, plastic pellets.
00:32 As you can see, the fire is still big and the smoke is thick and black.
00:37 That's what comes from that first warehouse.
00:39 The structure of the warehouse has already collapsed.
00:42 According to the BFP, they are now using what is called AFFF chemical
00:46 or Aqueous Film Forming Foam that is used in highly flammable materials.
00:52 This is to make the fire redder because the water can no longer withstand the fire.
00:59 The first warehouse was already destroyed while the adjacent warehouse also gave away the roof.
01:04 As we can see, the contents of the second warehouse next to it are also gone and are burnt.
01:12 The third and fourth warehouses that were damaged, the third and half of the roof,
01:16 were also given away while the fourth warehouse had no more products inside and was taken out by employees.
01:23 It is 11 o'clock in the evening, Ivan, when the fire started and reached the fifth alarm.
01:28 That means that 28 fire trucks from the BFP and fire volunteers responded here in the area.
01:36 That's all for now, Litas. From Pulilan, Bulacan, I am James Agustin for GEMA Integrated News.
01:42 James, if we are correct, the fire was under control.
01:47 Did it start again? Because the fire seems to be getting bigger.
01:51 Yes, Ivan. The BFP explained to us that when the provincial fire marshal responded here earlier,
02:01 around 1 am, they were able to control the fire in the first warehouse.
02:07 The problem was that it started burning in the first warehouse and the third and fourth warehouses were damaged.
02:15 That's how long the BFP's operation was here in the adjacent warehouses.
02:21 Even in the compound, Ivan, where there are more than 10 warehouses,
02:27 the fire was still spreading to the other warehouses in the compound.
02:32 Ivan.
02:33 Thank you very much. Be careful there, James Agustin.
