He, however,noted that nearby warehouse and houses were not involved in the blaze.

“May katabi pero hindi nadamay kasi mataas ‘yung firewall nitong mismong warehouse,” Otuto said. 

(There were nearby establishments, but were not affected because of the the warehouse’s high firewall.)

He also said that the resources used to extinguish the fire were fucntioned well.

“Smooth yung operations dahil naka-tap sa malapit na water source, ‘yung hydrant,” he added.
