The Bureau of Fire is now getting the attention it rightfully
deserves.
Modernization of the Bureau has always been in the back
burner in terms of upgrading of equipment.

government units, as witnessed by President Rodrigo Roa Duterte and senator
Bong Go.

74 firetrucks were given to local officials from Luzon, the
Visayas and Mindanao.
“These new equipment are testament to the government’s full
support for the BFP’s mandate to promote public safety by saving lives and
protecting property from destruction during natural and manmade disasters and
other emergencies,” Duterte said
BFP chief Jose Embang Jr.
Senator Go filed a bill in the Senate which calls for the
proposed Fire Protection Modernization Act -
The bill states calls for the establishment of a Fire
Protection Modernization Program to be implemented by the BFP and will include
hiring of more personnel, acquiring modern fire equipment and training for
firefighters.
“It is high time that we upgrade the facilities and
capabilities of the Bureau of Fire Protection. Let us add more services and
hire more men and women who would dare to become the respected and admired
firemen and women of our nation,” said Go.
