00:00Almost 15,000 houses were burned in the entire country since January based on the Bureau of Fire Protection.
00:07More than 5,000 of those were residential fires like the one that happened in Taytay, Rizal.
00:13This is the news brought to you by Beya Pinlac.
00:20The residents of Barangay San Juan in Taytay, Rizal were engulfed by raging fire.
00:25We were inside and we did not know that the fire was already burning in the back.
00:30The fire reached the second alarm and it burned for more than three hours.
00:36Almost 50 firetrucks of BFP and fire volunteers responded to the fire.
00:43Our establishments are close to each other so it is also a factor that the fire spread quickly.
00:50The scene of the fire is a sash factory where a lot of wood has been impacted.
00:57Its owner is the son of one of the firefighters who responded to the fire.
01:02Some of their owners and businesses were also engulfed by the fire.
01:07I do not have any other income but my family is the only one who can get out of our house that is on fire.
01:14It is very difficult. I do not know how we will start again.
01:19No one was injured or burned from the fire.
01:22BFP is still aware of the extent of the damage and the number of people affected by the fire.
