"Christmas lights and Christmas lanterns".
These are some of the Christmas decorations that often
times cause fire if not carefully and correctly used.
According to Bureau of Fire Protection Unit Boracay Chief
Inspector-Stephen Jardeleza, they strictly monitor the use of Christmas lights of
households and establishments in Boracay which is one of the major causes of
fire.
However, Jardeleza said that they are still waiting for
orders from their Regional and National Office for other measures needed for
their monitoring of Christmas decorations.
Jardeleza also warned consumers not to buy Christmas
lights without ICC stickers on its packaging or containers because they may be
unsafe to use.
It will be recalled that the Department of Trade and
Industry (DTI) and the Philippine National Police (PNP) teamed up to seize Christmas
lights without ICC and have not passed their standards.
