00:00In observance of Fire Prevention Month, the Bureau of Fire Protection or BFP
00:05underscored the importance of collaboration with local government units
00:09and other government agencies in keeping communities alert and safe from fire incidents.
00:15Maine Odong from Philippine Information Agency, Calabarzon, tells us more.
00:21To raise public awareness and encourage cooperation in ensuring the safety of individuals and communities,
00:28BFP reminds the public that fire safety is not solely the responsibility of the Bureau,
00:34but a collective effort of all sector.
00:36In areas that are fire-prone, as we know from the news,
00:42mostly are informal settlers.
00:45That is a big challenge for BFP.
00:47But then again, there is the assistance of our local government units
00:51and also the support of our barangay fire brigades.
00:56It's the same for our other agencies that we partner with when it comes to fire safety education.
01:02As protectors of communities, firefighters were also given access to housing programs and services
01:09to boost their morale and show gratitude for their noble service through a partnership with the Pag-ibig Fund.
01:15We recognize the sacrifices you make so that civilians are protected from the hazards of fire.
01:24That is why you should allow us to provide protection to you
01:30through the benefits that will help boost your lives.
01:36Every March, fire-related incidents increased due to a combination of environmental factors
01:42and increased electrical consumption.
01:44Sa pag-iwa sa sunog, hindi ka nag-iisa.
01:47That is the battle cry of BFP as they urge the public to be alert and vigilant in keeping everyone safe.
