ROXAS CITY – A seminar on fire safety for firecracker retailers will be conducted by the firemen of the Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) here to avoid fire accidents in the trade of firecrackers and related merchandise during the holiday season.

Gimotea is set to confer with Roxas City mayor Angel Alan Celino to determine the city’s fire cracker trade zones.The city’s top fireman also added that an “Oplan Iwas Paputok Iwas Sunog Ngayong Pasko at Bagong Taon” is also being conducted by the BFP to remind residents of possible fire hazards like Christmas lights and fire crackers during the holiday celebration.
The campaign is the BFP’s proactive measure to minimize fire incidents which usually increase steeply in December due to the celebration of the Christmas and New Year holidays.
