MALOLOS CITY-The Provincial
Government of Bulacan headed by Gov. Wilhelmino M. Sy-Alvarado mapped out month
long activities including fire prevention strategies as the celebration of Fire
Prevention Month kicked off in Bulacan this March.
With the theme “Makiisa,
Makialam, Makipagtulungan upang Sunog ay Maiwasan”, the event aims to increase
the awareness of Bulakenyos in fire prevention as well as to mitigate the 149
fire incidents that happened in the province last year.
According to Felicisima
Mungcal, executive officer of Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and Management
Office (PDRRMO), the activities for this month includes bloodletting drive and
fire awareness run that will be participated by policemen, firemen,
non-government response teams, military and Provincial Capitol employees.
Aside from the souvenir item
for the first 150 participants, trauma kits and other first aid prizes will be
given to the winners of the said marathon.
There will also be a fire and
earthquake drill, a regional activity that will take place at the Provincial
Capitol.
“Kailangang magsimula ang kamulatan ng mga
empleyado ng Kapitolyo sa pag-iingat sa sunog at sakuna sa loob ng bahay.
Kailangan ding ingatan at sinupin ang gusali naman ng Kapitolyo bilang kanilang
pangalawang tahanan. Kaya naman uunahing turuan ang mga taga-kapitolyo para sa kontribusyon sa
pag-unlad ng gobyerno o sa bansa”, Gov. Alvarado said.
Meanwhile, aside from
seminars like fire prevention and earthquake and emergency and disaster
preparedness, there will also be trainings for fire suppression and first aid.
Also included on the said
trainings are disaster management and disaster rescue operations with water
search and rescue (WASAR).
