The Boracay Bureau
of Fire Protection is launching a campaign now that the All Soul’s Day is fast approaching.
One of their aims
is to remind the public to be cautious when using candles. Avoid placing it near
curtains or leaving it on table tops while it’s lit to prevent fire.
These are the
usual instructions they give the community that uses candles particularly this
coming All Soul’s Day said SPO1 Edgardo Imason, Chief Operation Officer of the
Bureau of Fire Protection/BFP-Boracay.
He said lit
candles if knocked over on to light materials, or anything that could fuel the
fire is the usual cause of a blaze.
Meanwhile as to
the cemeteries, they are or will also be checking and prohibit individuals from
setting candles in areas where there are dried leaves and twigs to avoid “grass
fire.”
In line with
this, the bureau is going to promote awareness among the public by reminding
them of the Dos and Don’ts to prevent this kind of incident.
They will be
expected to be on red-alert, visible, and will be conducting inspections to
ensure public safety against any accident the celebration may bring.
For this All
Soul’s Day operation the BFP will be working together with the Philippine Red
Cross.
