00:00A beautiful night, Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao.
00:04Suddenly, there's a fire in the middle of the LPG tank in a store in Taytay, Rizal.
00:11The store quickly went on fire while a mother and her child were in there.
00:17The Bureau of Fire Protection is now investigating the incident that was caught by CCTV.
00:23Watch in the coverage of Niko Wahe.
00:25It seems like these two men were fixing something in a store in Barangay San Juan, Taytay, Rizal.
00:33Suddenly, there's a smoke and a strong explosion.
00:39The store quickly went on fire.
00:42That's why the people inside quickly came out.
00:46The neighbors screamed.
00:49And there was also a responding fireman.
00:53The body of a 54-year-old woman who owns the store,
00:58as well as her son and his 21-year-old son, was found dead.
01:03According to one of the victims' relatives,
01:06there was an explosion while they were fixing the LPG tank.
01:10They didn't know that there was a leak because the gas came out strongly.
01:18There were neighbors who were also cooking.
01:26When it went off, it was really strong.
01:30That's why the explosion was so strong because there was a lot of gas inside.
01:33Victims are now being observed at the East Avenue Medical Center in Quezon City.
01:38Victims are asking for help in their treatment.
01:41As long as there's no leak, they need to go through that stage
01:47so that they can say that they're okay.
01:49Because their organs are still leaking.
01:53The BFP Taytay continues to investigate the incident.
01:56They also remind us to be careful when installing the LPG tanks.
02:00We need to make sure that all of them were killed first
02:02so that we can ensure our safety.
02:04If we install the LPG tanks,
02:08we need to make sure that there's no source of ignition.
02:11If there's an explosion and a leak,
02:13some can be used to speed up the fire.
02:16We can use soft drinks because it's pressurized and carbonated.
02:21If you pour it, the fire can also be extinguished.
02:24The fireman used water mixed with dishwashing liquid.
02:30The purpose of that is to blanket the fire.
02:35He's removing the oxygen from the fire.
02:37It's really dangerous.
02:40That's the best way.
