Last night I posted about the firetrucks blowing its horns and sirens.
I am browsing online news while I was on lunch break at work. And the news feature caught my attention. 800 Families Left Homeless by Fire. It was saddening to know that these families have lost their homes. The authorities are still looking at the reason of the blaze.
According to the report, this was in Cainta, which is far from my place. At 9:58 PM the Fire dept declared fire out.

Hear of that one too in the news. One disheartening to see is a mom to be who is just one month short of giving birth lost all her belongings and saved a few of her clothes that she could carry with her. Her husband was out working when it happened so she done all the things to save some of her personal belongings. I hope she would be okay since she is just waiting to give birth. It is just saddening how they will be able to cope with this being homeless.

were those houses close together, made of light materials and hard for the fire trucks to reach? the mayor of cainta has a massive task to face.

@jobelbojel i think it's frustrating for the firemen when that happens. also, if there's no water in the fire hydrants if the area have water supply issues.
