𝗔𝗥𝗧𝗜𝗖𝗟𝗘 | Fire Safety Seminar: Student Leaders empowered to safety and preparedness.
A fire safety seminar was held on August 1, 2025, on the 4th floor, Rizal Building at Col. Lauro D. Dizon Memorial Integrated High School (CLDDMIHS). Attended by Homeroom officers from Grade 7 to Senior high school, along with teachers and fire safety officials. Led by the Supreme Secondary Learner Government (SSLG), the seminar aimed to promote fire awareness and prevention.
In line with the celebration of National Disaster Month (NDRM) last July, this seminar is significant for the learners to be equipped with important knowledge on fire prevention and safety.
The seminar started around 7:00 a.m. with a prayer and a nationalistic song by way of an audio-visual presentation, followed by a warm welcoming message from Sir Carlo Carag, the head teacher of MAPEH Department and an inspirational message from our esteemed assistant principal, Sir Rowell Corcega. They introduced the seminar by emphasizing the importance of fire preparedness.
To achieve the goal of the seminar, the Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) R4A San Pablo City, represented by, SF02 Ulysses M. Fajilan Jr. (Shift B Supervisor), FO1 Cristy Ann S. Maldonado (Radio and Telephone Operator), and FO1 Jonathan R. Pronton (Fire Truck Crew), discussed and demonstrated the proper response in case of fire emergencies and their possible causes.
Our honored firefighters talked about the steps to take during a fire, who to call in case of such emergencies, how to identify fire hazards, how quickly fire spreads, the different types of fire, and the mediums of fire.
“Mas mabuti nang manakawan, kesa masunugan.” Highlighted by FO1 Pronton during the discussion.
Furthermore, the firefighters showed various ways on how to properly carry an unconscious victim to safety, a vital rescue technique during fire emergencies. Then, couple of participants were later called to apply these techniques based on what they have learned.
After the talk, the fire officials demonstrated how to respond during an actual fire scenario on the Dizon High Grandstand. Learners were given an opportunity to handle fire hydrants, allowing them to learn how to properly put out a fire.
The seminar was formally closed by 11:00 a.m. with acknowledgements to the guests, participants, and facilitators.
The seminar was a resounding success, empowering learners with enhanced preparedness and safety awareness by its conclusion. Building on this momentum, a campus-wide hazard mapping initiative will be conducted to further ensure readiness and protection. The symposium's positive impact resonated throughout the school and community, fostering a culture of preparedness and awareness among its learners.
