A young woman, one of the victims, shared that she lived with her parents in a rented room at the house.
On the night of the incident, she was about to go to bed when she noticed flames spreading across the roof. Worse still, she was trapped inside because the door to her room was locked from the outside while her mother had gone out for an errand.
Inside the house were a gas cylinder, a motorcycle, and a large pile of old belongings, which easily fueled the fire.
The other rooms, rented by neighbours, were also filled with items, making it even harder to contain the blaze.
Fortunately, her older brother helped break down the door, allowing her to escape.
The person in the video turned out to be the young woman’s mother.
In an interview, the mother said that what mattered most wasn’t the belongings in the house, but her child.

She remarked that she did not know what to do, so she desperately scooped water in an attempt to put out the flames.
After the video was posted, multiple netizens flocked to share sympathy and show support for the woman.
