exercise from the Agusan del Norte Provincial Capitol going to Guingona Park,
Butuan City.
Sr Insp. Ray Antonio Restauro of the BFP-Caraga
said the month of March is considered Fire Prevention Month of every year since
this month has recorded several fire incidents.
Restauro also stated that BFP is continuously
conducting information dissemination to the public on the prevention of fire
everywhere.
“For any training that your agency would want us
to assist you, our office is very willing to provide you the knowledge and
skills on how to prevent and be safe during fire-related incidents,” said
Restauro.
This year's Fire Prevention Month is anchored on
the theme "Sunog at Sakuna Paghandaan, Kalikasan ay Pangangalagaan nang
Matamasa ang Pag-unlad ng Bayan" (Prepare for Fire and Calamities, Reserve
the Environment for a more Progressive Nation). (JPG/PIA-Caraga)
