00:00A fire broke out in a warehouse in San Pedro, Laguna earlier.
00:04This is what Isaiah Merafuente reported.
00:09Residents of Barangay San Antonio, San Pedro, Laguna woke up in fear.
00:15The warehouse, which is located right in front of their homes,
00:19was engulfed by a strong fire.
00:22It was very strong.
00:24It was very hot up there.
00:27And the smell was very bad.
00:32Of course, we were scared.
00:34Of course, there are children.
00:35You have to take care of your children first.
00:37The others don't care.
00:39That's why the residents were forced to evacuate
00:42because of the fear that their homes would also be engulfed by the fire.
00:46At 12.30 p.m., a fire broke out in one of the warehouses.
00:51It became difficult for the firefighters to extinguish the fire
00:56because the warehouse was padded with fire-resistant parcels.
01:01The fire spread quickly
01:03because the warehouse compound contained chemicals
01:07such as crude oil, motor oil, and auto supplies.
01:11Some cars were also hit.
01:13These were in front of the warehouse
01:14and were not able to save the owner
01:17and were also engulfed by the fire.
01:19The Bureau of Fire Protection used chemical solutions
01:23to quickly extinguish the fire.
01:25The force of the BFP from Region 4A and Metro Manila also helped in extinguishing the fire.
01:32At present, no one has been injured or injured in the incident.
01:36Until now, the warehouse owner's compound has not been notified
01:40even though it was declared far under control.
01:43The fire reached the fourth alarm.
01:45Authorities are still investigating the fire
01:48and the overall importance of the fire.
