00:00A house in Antipolo, Rizal was set on fire last night.
00:05Isaiah Mrefuentes has the details.
00:10Residents of Barangay San Isidro, Antipolo City were shocked
00:14after the house was suddenly set on fire last night at 9 o'clock.
00:18Each of the residents had their own fire extinguisher.
00:21But most of the people who were burned were wearing their own clothes
00:25because of the fast spreading of fire.
00:28According to witnesses, some of the electricity cables in the house caught fire
00:33and they suddenly heard a loud explosion.
00:37I was watching the situation in front of us.
00:41Some people came outside and there was a fire.
00:45I immediately went outside.
00:48Aside from the houses, a private school and mission house of missionaries was also set on fire.
00:55When the plane was about to land, someone posted about the fire.
01:02I told them to admit it to the mission house.
01:05When I found out, I know that God has a plan.
01:09All things work together for His purpose
01:14because the Lord has a good plan for what will happen in the future.
01:18All the documents of the school were found and can be used inside the mission house.
01:24There was also a car that was used by the missionaries for their activities.
01:29Our challenge was that the fire was caused by light materials.
01:34It spread quickly.
01:36That was our challenge.
01:40But when we saw the situation, we were surprised.
01:44That's why we declared a second alarm.
01:46Most of the houses that were burned were ancestral homes
01:50or more than 100 years old.
01:52There were 4 houses with 5 families.
01:55A private school and mission house was also set on fire.
01:59Almost 10 million pesos were lost.
02:03We should always be careful when it comes to fire.
02:06Let's look at our homes.
02:08Cookers, appliances, appliances.
02:12Let's check if it's old.
02:14If it needs to be replaced, let's replace it.
02:16Even the power line.
02:17The BFB also knows the cause of the fire.
02:2045 firetrucks had to respond to the fire that lasted for more than an hour.
