In the Philippines, there were 13,000 fire incidents recorded in 2022, according to the Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP).

We must take action now to lower this number to at least 10%. When fighting the war against fire, every second counts. We must control and contain the fire immediately, in less than 60 seconds.

Early detection is key; smoke detectors are vital for every house and establishment. Make sure to have these safety devices in place. Fire extinguishers are also important for responders in the area to use.

But what if there are no responders nearby? Don’t panic. Contact the nearest quick response center and contain the fire while firefighters are automatically notified to respond immediately.
