Despite constantly monitoring, the personnel of the Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) in Mandaluyong City makes sure that they don’t miss out on celebrating the coming New Year.

Station Commander Fire Inspector Joseph Canon says it is important for the staff to hold at least a small dinner party to ease their longing while being away from home and their families during the holiday.

While a few of them are busy preparing for their early Media Noche, others conduct the routine checking of their equipment and vehicles before patrolling their area of responsibility.

The team makes their rounds in fire-hazard areas in Mandaluyong while handing out fliers containing fire safety reminders. While residents are out on the streets partying, the BFP strategically placed firetrucks throughout the city for better response in case a fire breaks out.
