Philippine rescuers have boarded a ferry about 40 hours after a blaze began, but thick, toxic fumes and extreme temperatures are making the operation difficult.
The conditions inside the ship pose a significant challenge for the rescue teams, who must work through smoke and intense heat as they enter the vessel.
The available information does not state how many people may be aboard, whether anyone has been rescued, or what caused the fire. It also does not provide details about the extent of the damage to the ferry.
At this time, rescuers are inside the ship and facing hazardous conditions. Further details about the operation and the status of those affected are not available.
