Fire At Zone Talong Paknaan, Mandaue City || Luckily, God Forbid

It's Sunday (23 March 2025)7:00 p.m. I arrived from playing basketball. I heard an explosion and a screamed "sunog!, sunog!". There was a fire 15 meters away from my house. I opened my window and I saw flames and felt the heat. I was afraid and panicked. Immediately packed my clothes especially my uniform and important belongings. I brought down the wheel chair for my aunt who was paralyzed and looked for a safe place. Suddenly a black out and became dark and difficult.

Screams, cries, noises, and people were carrying their belongings. I carried three bags and with my 1 year old niece. The rest of the family members also brought their important belongings while my uncle stayed at home and waited for firemen. Fire truck arrived at 7:15. But the road is tight , difficult ,and crowded. The fire continued to spread to houses and it looks like it won't stop . Firefighters had difficulty stopping it. It was already 9:00 p.m. I felt pain and hopeless. My niece had sleep while I was carrying her. I was exhausted.

Until, around 10:00 p.m. the flames were under control and were fired out at 10:30 p.m.
That was a huge fire that burned approximately 200 houses . Fortunately, no injuries and deaths reported. Our house was not included in the fire but very near. I felt lucky and grateful. Salute to firemen for all their commitment and bravery.
