Deputy Presidential spokesperson Abigail Valte appealed to the public to prevent fires as the country observes Fire Prevention Month this March.
“We appeal to our families to make sure to do your yearly check up of your houses—the ones that you rent or your own homes,” Valte said in an interview.
Valte said the public could ask the help of Bureau of Fire Protection which conducts inspections in cooperation with the local government units.
“And we also call on the local government units to start conducting their inspections to make sure that the homes in their jurisdiction and the offices and the buildings are also up to speed on our relevant codes,” she said.
