CITY, March 5 (PIA) – The Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) Sorsogon City
spearheaded by Fire Marshal Snr. Insp. Walter Badong Marcial has lined up
activities for the observance this year’s Fire Prevention Month with the theme “Sunog

Bayan”.
SInsp
Marcial said that in connection with the 47th observance of Fire
Prevention Month, they have prepared series of activities this March to uphold

securing public safety. He further encouraged the public to be vigilant in
order to prevent the occurrence of destructive fires.

local government and the relentless staff of Fil-Chin Volunteer Fire Brigade
led by Engr. Joseph Jao to the BFP particularly on the aspects of fire safety.
He also specifically mentioned the importance of the role of media in informing
the public of the tormenting case of fire incidents especially during the month
