NewsTranscript
00:00 A few days before Holy Week and the end of Fire Prevention Month,
00:04 each and every fire is now reported in NCR.
00:07 The fire is increasing in Malabon where there is a fire.
00:11 The chief community relations section of the Bureau of Fire Protection National Headquarters,
00:16 Fire Senior Inspector Gabriel Solano, is in the news.
00:19 Good morning and welcome to the news.
00:21 Good morning, Sir Rafi and Ma'am Connie. Thank you very much.
00:26 Good morning, Sir. Based on your monitoring, what is the usual fire that is burning these past few days?
00:33 And how did you respond to this?
00:39 Yes.
00:39 The cause of fire that we see is different in the National Capital Region data
00:46 compared to our nationwide fire incident data.
00:50 Because in our National Capital Region, our number one is open flames,
00:56 like cigarettes that are accidentally causing fires.
01:03 On a national scale, if we look at it at a national level,
01:07 the highest cause of fire is rubbish fire,
01:12 which is caused by large fires that affect residential areas.
01:19 Right. But why are the incidents of fire that lead to tragedy or deaths of some people,
01:29 are there any changes that we can see?
01:32 For example, in windows, there are many grills.
01:37 Or maybe the training of the families, if there is a fire, how to drill?
01:42 Yes. Yes, Ma'am.
01:44 It's very saddening because we see that we are dying from our fire incidents.
01:52 One of the reasons we see here is that the victims don't know that there is a fire.
02:01 We have these fire incidents where they were not informed or they were not awoken,
02:05 their family members and their community.
02:09 Another reason why someone is dying is that there is no means of escape for the family.
02:15 They are in their room, second floor, third floor, and they have no means of escaping.
02:22 You're right Ma'am that there are windows that have grills or that have fixed grills.
02:30 First of all, we are prohibiting the fire code to have grills on the windows.
02:36 For residential occupancies, like our houses, that is one of the primary means of escape in case of fire incidents.
02:47 We understand that for security purposes, to avoid theft, if we need or want to put a grill,
02:57 it's better to make that grill operable or we can still open it. There is a padlock but it's within noticeable location.
03:07 So that if there is a fire, you can open it in your room.
03:12 It's the holy week next week. How is the preparation of the BFP?
03:17 When it comes to those who will touch the fire and will use our fire trucks,
03:20 many will go home.
03:23 Yes sir. The whole bureau of fire is ready for that. We will be suspending fire prevention month activities starting Sunday.
03:33 Our off-land semana santa will take effect. It will last until next Sunday, 31.
03:41 Our BFP personnel are deployed there, like our EMS personnel, our fire truck personnel. We can see them on the road,
03:52 in emergency locations to give any assistance for motorists, first of all.
03:59 Second, in case of accidents and medical emergencies, because of the hot weather,
04:08 that's what we will do if it's a holy week.
04:14 Very quickly, what are your tips for our fellowmen to avoid fire?
04:20 Number one, we remind our BFP personnel to clean their homes. That's our solution.
04:29 When you clean your home or observe good housekeeping practice, you will see things that shouldn't be there in your home.
04:39 It can cause fire. We will solve that. We can remove octopus connection, defective appliances,
04:47 and the ones that are damaged by fire. We will check all of the hosts and regulators of our LPG when we observe good housekeeping practice.
04:59 So BFP is the number one tip that we are giving our fellowmen.
05:04 Second, since most of our homes are residential areas, we observe and edit the exit drill in the home.
05:11 We will teach each member of the family what to do if there is a fire.
05:17 We will teach everyone in the house how to get out and where to go.
05:22 So that we can avoid casualties and fire incidents.
05:28 I hope this can be taught in schools. Thank you very much.
05:33 Yes sir. Thank you very much and have a good day.
05:36 This is Farsin, Inspector Gabriel Solano of BFP.
