The Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) Polomolok urged the public to prioritize immediate action over recording during fire emergencies as it conducted a Fire Safety Seminar and Fire Drill at Dole Philippines School (DPS) on September 26, 2026.
The activity, held at the DPS Pavilion at 9:00 a.m., aimed to equip students and staff with knowledge and practical skills in preventing and responding to fire hazards.
BFP personnel demonstrated the proper use of fire extinguishers through the T.P.A.S.S. method: Twist, Pull, Aim, Squeeze, and Sweep. They also demonstrated an alternative response through a bucket brigade, where participants passed buckets of water to help control a simulated fire.
During the seminar, BFP emphasized that taking action during an emergency should take priority over using phones or recording devices. They also discussed the bystander effect, in which people may hesitate to act when they expect others to respond instead.
The activity concluded with an evaluation of the schoolโs fire drill response, followed by a question-and-answer session where participants shared their learnings and concerns with BFP personnel.
