“Kung sakali man mag-fireworks tayo, make sure meron tayong fire extinguisher or balde ng tubig or balde ng buhangin. At ganon na rin bukas, baka magwalis agad-agad, ipunin sa isang tabi, buhusan po muna natin ng tubig,” she emphasized.

(Always have a fire extinguisher, a bucket of water, or a bucket of sand nearby. After using fireworks, it’s important to sweep the area right away, gather the remaining ashes, and douse them with water.)

Scam alert!!

Lastly, Atienza warned of scammers pretending to be BFP officers and reminded everyone to ensure that they are transacting with legitimate officials during the holiday season.

“Hanapan po ng ID, tanungin po ng mga matters of the Bureau of Fire [Protection], at magtaka na po agad kung dire-diretso silang papasok sa bahay dahil kailangan po meron tayong coordination prior at kasama po sa mga establishment,” she said.”
