“There hasn’t been a day where we don’t respond to fires here in Cebu City,” said Senior Fire Officer 2 Wendell Villanueva, spokesperson of the Cebu City Fire Office. CDNDigital
“There hasn’t been a day where we don’t respond to fires here in Cebu City,” said Villanueva in Cebuano during the OpenLine Media Forum.Most of the fire incidents they reported were rubbish, grass and vehicular fires, he added.
In turn, the Cebu City Fire Official urged residents here to avoid burning rubbish as these too can contribute to larger and even deadly fires. “Not only it is unlawful – we have a law that bans burning rubbish – but unless you have buckets of water ready to douse the flames, when you leave them unattended, it will likely result to even bigger fires that need our firefighters’ help,” Villanueva pointed out.According to Villanueva, the celebration also marks the start of ‘summer’ as fire officials anticipate more fire incidents to occur during the dry season.
“When we experience extreme heat, possible mahitabo mala kaayo atong kabtangan. Uga kaayo sa nga tanan so posibilidad, gamayng sipyat, magdaob or magspark, possible makadakop and dali mukatap,” Villanueva explained.
