ROXAS CITY, Capiz, Dec. 5 (PIA6) – About 70 interested firecracker retailers in the province attended the fire safety lecture on Nov. 28 at the Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) here.
“Participants were given Certificate of Attendance that will be used by the retailers in securing PNP clearance and local government unit (LGU) permits to sell firecrackers,” said BFP Roxas City Public Information Officer FO2 Marlon Garbo.
Garbo is also one of the speakers in the three-hour lecture.
He added that the participants were taught on how to establish their stores in a manner that accidental fires will be minimized at the firecracker trade zones to be designated by the concerned LGU.
“Every stall must have fire extinguisher, a pails of sand and water, no-smoking sign boards and be separated by a partition with iron sheet,” he stressed.
He added that cooking and putting of electrical outlets as well as bringing of children by the retailers are not allowed in the trading areas.
The next fire safety lecture for interested firecracker retailers will be on Dec. 7.
The firemen are also in close coordination with the PNP and Department of Trade and Industry to ensure that firecracker trading zone will be strictly observed and the merchandise will only come from accredited firecracker producers. (JCM/Alex A. Lumaque/PIA 6 Capiz)
