According to Aguilar's son Jeriko, he was in the ground-floor music room when he heard several popping noises.
When he stepped out of the room to investigate, he saw that the ceiling was on fire.
Aguilar's wife, Jovie, was on the second floor. Having heard Jeriko's warnings, Jovie, along with her mother, attempted to get to the ground floor, but the smoke was too thick.
They instead went out the balcony, and climbed to the roof. From there, they managed to make it to the neighbor's roof.
Though it was fortunate that no one was injured in the fire, Aguilar lamented that important memorabilia, such as some of his original recordings, awards, and musical instruments, were lost in the fire.
