SORSOGON CITY, September 17 – The
Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) Sorsogon City spearheaded by City Fire Marshal
Senior Inspector Walter Badong Marcial is conducting fire safety seminar and
first aid training to the participants of Youth for Environment School (YES)
program which is anchored on the implementation of RA 9512 (Environment
Awareness and Education Act of 2008) and RA 9729 (Climate Change Act).
According to Marcial, this
activity is well-timed since nowadays we are already experiencing the effect of
climate change. “Though our participants are mostly elementary pupils, we are
imparting them the basic knowledge that they can be used in times of emergency
and other related cases,” he said.
He also said that they have
finished conducting the said training-seminar to three schools in the city while
some others are scheduled this weekend.
Marcial pointed out the
significance of the said activity to the community for them to be vigilant
during disasters and calamities.
The lecture includes fire safety
tips as well as first aid training such as Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation, Bandaging
and Splinting, Emergency Rescue Transport and other common emergency
management.
Furthermore, fire and earthquake
drill are also being conducted to assess the capability of the pupils in case
they encounter similar situations.
Meanwhile, BFP Sorsogon City
encourages everyone to be safety conscious as well as to be actively involved
in promoting this kind of endeavor to attain fire-free community.
In case of emergency BFP Sorsogon
City can be reached at cellphone number 09072927215 or through their hotline number
