00:35 The victim was tried to be revived within an hour.

00:38 But he was also brought back to life.

00:41 Some of the victim's relatives were rushed to the hospital when they heard about the incident.

00:46 We raised him. He grew up with us.

00:49 That's why it's sad.

00:54 He grew up with us. He was also raised by my brother.

00:59 He sleeps with us. He always sleeps with us when he washes.

01:07 He's very dedicated. That's why his headquarters are always sleeping.

01:11 The victim, CK Oliver, was recognized as a fire volunteer.

01:15 We were all inside. There were two more houses that were burning inside.

01:20 We heard the collapse of one of the houses.

01:25 We thought that there was no patient inside.

01:30 When we went around, we found out that one of our colleagues was trapped inside.

01:35 It hurts for us.

01:37 Especially since we've been together for a long time.

01:40 It hurts to know that our colleague was trapped inside.

01:46 The victim was released after the fire was extinguished.

01:50 But he was hit by a part of the collapsed terrace.

01:54 He was also injured in the collapse of the house.

01:57 Luckily, he was only able to survive the collapse.

02:01 The fire started at 5.40pm yesterday in three houses in Barangay Batis.

02:07 The fire spread quickly because of the light materials inside the houses and the adjacent houses.

02:14 While I was assessing the situation, I saw that the oil depot was on fire.

02:20 I decided to tap the oil depot from second to third to protect it.

02:29 If the oil depot is damaged, the fire will have a bigger impact.

02:35 So, our fire reached the third alarm.

02:38 The fire happened near the oil depot.

02:41 The firemen also came here to put out the fire.

02:46 The fire reached 50 houses and the damage was around 1.5 million pesos.

02:59 When our neighbor told us to go down, we went down.

03:04 We didn't have anything else to save.

03:06 I went back to get my children's school supplies.

03:11 I saw that the fire was bigger than I thought.

03:14 According to the residents, the fire was overheated.

03:19 But the Bureau of Fire Protection is still investigating it.

03:23 The fire was declared out at 8pm last night.
