BFP eyeing reorganization
of barangay fire brigades
The Bureau of Fire Protection is eyeing the reorganization of barangay fire brigades in Negros Oriental to strengthen community response during fire incidents, a government press release said.
Senior Insp. Allan Patrocinio of BFP-Negros Oriental saidrevitalizing the barangay fire brigade is a good idea, especially since tanods are in the frontline, or the first responders, during disasters like fire incidents.
Insp. Arnulfo Sayson of the Dumaguete City Fire Department said they are willing to partner with the barangays for the lecture forums and trainings for tanods to strengthen their capabilities in responding to fire events..
