A birthday bash with the firefighters
By: Bennie A. Recebido
Sorsogon City, January 28 – A dream come true for a child who visualizes himself as a firefighter when Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) Sorsogon City gave him a chance to celebrate his birthday at the BFP office in this city.
Joshua Tyler Gamboa, a nine-year old boy, shows a great passion for the works of men in uniform but notably has a greater respect for firefighters that he looks forward to be one with them in the future.
On January 28, 2011 at 4 o’clock in the afternoon, his special birthday was celebrated and held at the firehouse of the BFP Sorsogon City.
Since this was the first time that a kid requested to have a party in a firehouse, the city’s legitimate firefighters, just like the kids, were also very excited to be part of the unique birthday celebration.
Sets of programs were prepared to further promote among the kids and even to the visitors fire safety awareness by introducing to them some fire safety tips.
Sorsogon City Fire Marshal Renato B. Marcial also shared to them the advocacy of the Bureau and imparted to kids the firefighter’s tough job in saving lives and properties.
The treat to one of a kind experience of a firetruck ride within the vicinity of Sorsogon City has added more color, fun and excitement for the kids.
“We in BFP are very happy to know that children as young as Joshua look at us with high respect and even dream of becoming one with us someday,” Chief Inspector Marcial said.
“That’s why I did not go on second thoughts approving Joshua’s request that his dream of becoming a firefighter will come true early on his 9th birthday,” he added.
“This is the most memorable birthday I ever had. And I am deeply grateful to Sir Marcial and to the people of BFP Sorsogon City,” says Joshua with a big smile in his face. (PIA Sorsogon)
