Volunteers Battle Fiery Infernos In World's Most Densely Populated City, Manila | No Ordinary Rescue

In Metro Manila, Philippines, an increase in devastating fires has put volunteer firefighters at the front lines, battling blazes in some of the city's most vulnerable neighbourhoods.

These are the lives of Danie Cabillo, Joanna Mandap (who runs a female dominant fire brigade), and Marvin Bustamante – and their families, as we unmask the emotional complexities and high-risk conditions associated with their heroic roles. From facing life-or-death scenarios that test their limits, these are stories of sacrifice, courage, and triumph - where every second is a battle against time.
