00:00A few weeks before Christmas, 500 families in Santa Cruz, Manila lost their homes because of a fire.
00:09Two people were injured.
00:11A family was about to give birth to their soon-to-be-born child
00:14because they had to evacuate their home.
00:17Let's hear from Jomara Presto.
00:22Firefighters are trying to put out such a big fire in the area of Bargay 310 in Santa Cruz, Manila.
00:29The fire started at 9 p.m. last night and was quickly put out by five alarms.
00:34This means that the residents will not be able to get out of the 20 fire trucks that need to be responded to.
00:39The residents carried their belongings one by one.
00:43Others were not able to be saved except for the images of San Tonino and Nazareno.
00:48Some were the first to try to save their pets.
00:52According to the barangay, they were surprised because the fire spread quickly
00:56and it started at the third floor of a house in the playground compound.
01:01We were not able to bring the fire extinguisher because the fire spread quickly.
01:06It spread around. It started in our neighborhood, near the barangay,
01:10in the house of the guard and we were brought to the LRC.
01:14The fire also spread near the facility of Manila City Jail.
01:18Some of the children of persons deprived of liberty were put here.
01:23According to the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology,
01:26they immediately transferred hundreds of PDLs to other parts of the city jail.
01:30The Manila City Jail was not affected by the fire, said the Bureau of Fire Protection.
01:34But they also put it here to pump water.
01:37The road is very narrow so we can get the focal points of the fire.
01:46At the same time, there are many people.
01:52We were blocked when we entered.
01:55No one was injured or killed.
01:57Two women were injured.
02:00As a senior citizen who had a second-degree burn in various parts of the body,
02:05according to the BFP data, 500 families lost their homes,
02:10worth more than P3.7 million.
02:13The estimated value of the lost property,
02:16Among those who lost their homes,
02:18Nanay Michelle was the only one who came home from work when the fire broke out.
02:23It's hard to celebrate Christmas and then this happens.
02:27All the hard work, just one egg, and it's gone.
02:31The BFP is still investigating the cause of the fire.
02:35For now, the Manila Department of Social Welfare is listing the names of the residents who were burned.
02:41According to the barangay,
02:42there are several residents who are being evacuated and are claiming to be burned
02:46in order to get help from the government.
