00:00More than 100 houses were set on fire in Barangay Barangka, Ilaya, in Mandaluyong earlier this morning.
00:06First news live, EJ Gomez, EJ.
00:14Ivan, the fire continues to flare up.
00:17It passed 2 o'clock this morning here in Barangay Barangka, Ilaya, Mandaluyong City.
00:21Now it's clear that the fire is far under control.
00:26Firefighters are having a hard time because of a small path.
00:34A fire woke up residents of Barangay Barangka, Ilaya, in Mandaluyong at 2 o'clock this morning.
00:41The fire was put out immediately and reached the second alarm at 3 o'clock this morning.
00:47This means that firefighters will not be able to get down to the 8th truck.
00:52The affected residents have their own equipment.
00:55We only have papers, ID papers, that's all.
01:00Some were not able to be saved, but their pets were at home.
01:04I only brought my white dog.
01:07I told my daughter and my daughter-in-law, don't bring your pets.
01:11Let's run outside because the path is closed.
01:14If we bring our pets, we will be trapped.
01:17Until now, there are people looking for their pets at home.
01:21I remember when the fire hit me, I couldn't see anything.
01:25When I saw that the fire was very strong and bright,
01:29I just picked up my bag.
01:31This is all I picked up.
01:34And this is my paper.
01:38According to the barangay, more than 100 houses were affected by the fire.
01:42The affected families will remain in the evacuation center in Covered Court, Munapan.
01:48The houses here are full of light materials.
01:50That's why the fire happened suddenly.
01:52It's very difficult because it's a small area.
01:55It's difficult for the firefighters because the road is narrow.
02:05Ivan, according to the BFP, no one was injured.
02:09But there were two injured.
02:12One was a woman who suffered a first-degree burn to her arm.
02:19The other was a man who had difficulty breathing because of the smoke from the fire.
02:23That's the first news from Mandaluyong City.
