The Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) said Sunday it registered 89 fire incidents from December 24, 2022 to January 1, 2023.
The number of fires was 44% lower than the fire incidents recorded during the same period last year which was 160, said BFP spokesperson Fire Superintendent Analee Atienza.
“Sa datos natin, related po ito sa electrical ignition, ito po ‘yung mga kuryente natin, at majority ay residential ang mga fire incidents na ito. Pumapangatlo ang smoking. ‘Yan ang ating mga top causes of fire,” she said in a Super Radyo dzBB interview. With this, Atienza called on the public to always check their power lines to avoid fire incidents in residential areas. She also urged them to coordinate with the BFP to identify the fire hazards in their respective areas.Atienza said that the BFP will start its modernization program in 2023, noting that 191 municipalities are still not equipped with firetrucks and are without activated fire stations.
Puracan then asked the DBM to authorize the BFP to use its P94-million savings from fire truck procurement for the purchase of firearms which will cost around P45 million.
