00:00The fires in San Juan, Caloocan, and Navotas last night and this morning are saddening.
00:08Be extra careful, especially when it comes to cooking, which is one of the main reasons for the fire.
00:13This December, Bernadette Reyes caught fire.
00:21The people of this warehouse were still asleep when the fire broke out at 6.40 a.m. this morning in San Rafael Village, Navotas.
00:28When the fire was extinguished, the firewood, tomatoes, and garlic were burnt.
00:33I asked the firemen, they said it was up there, but I think the fire was down here, where they were sleeping.
00:42I heard something exploding, I thought someone was going to blow it up.
00:47Then my brother came out, the fire was so big, it was about to explode.
00:52Within an hour, the Bureau of Fire Protection immediately declared a fire in a warehouse here in San Rafael Village, Navotas.
01:01Within that short period of time, the fruit stalls were immediately blown up, according to the employees, equivalent to a container van.
01:09It's not just because it's fruit, it's that easy to kill.
01:14You don't need to be killed right away, but we're overrolling it now so that we don't have to spread fire.
01:24A fire also broke out in Tatampal Ali in Barangay 18, Caloocan, just before midday this morning.
01:31The fire was immediately extinguished.
01:33The 84-year-old woman, who owns the house, was saved.
01:38Christmas was also celebrated in Barangay Batis, San Juan.
01:43I don't have a house anymore.
01:52I don't have anything to use.
01:55I don't have money.
01:57I left home to save what I could use on the second floor.
02:01But I climbed up the stairs. I couldn't do it because the smoke was so thick.
02:05I felt like I was going to die.
02:07So I went back. I didn't know what to do.
02:09It's raining now. It's a hindrance to the operation.
02:13It's crazy and there are a lot of people living inside.
02:19Of course, when people go out, the firemen will go in.
02:23The fire is still being investigated, but the owner of the house who was affected by the fire said,
02:28He's a bit sad. I bought electrical wiring.
02:32He hasn't maintained the electrical system of the house for a long time.
02:36Based on the information gathered by the GMA News Research,
02:40From December 1 to Christmas, the number of fires in the country reached 756.
02:47Although it is lower than the same time last year, it is still alive.
02:53Aside from the frequent occurrence of fires,
02:55due to the cooking and loose connection that led to the fire of the power line,
03:01so did the fire.
03:03For GMA Integrated News,
03:05Bernadette Reyes was arrested for 24 hours.
