00:10Two men were killed after a boat was burned down in Barangay Daanghari, Navotas City last night.
00:16Around 9.22 p.m. last night, the Bureau of Fire Protection called
00:20and said the storage room of the upper ballast of the boat MV Aman Sinaya was on fire.
00:25According to Navotas City Fire Marshal Fire Superintendent Ronaldo Sanchez,
00:30they immediately noticed that there were combustibles inside the boat due to the high fire inside.
00:55Two men, a subcontractor and a welder, were found dead inside the blazing storage room.
01:04According to the investigation, it is possible that the two men suffocated due to the high fire.
01:11At the bottom of the boat, there are small manholes.
01:19We can also see that the doors are small and far from each other.
01:26The two victims suffocated, so they were found just a few steps away from the fire.
01:37There are 20 to 25 people who are working as welders in different parts of the boat that caught fire.
01:44Gitni Sanchez, even though the captain of the boat is there, he will not be responsible for the so-called incident
01:51because the contractor has the responsibility to put a fire watch and a safety officer in the shipyard while the boat is being loaded.
01:59Currently, the BFP is still investigating if the contractor of the boat violated the fire code.
