RoNHS launches Project LIGTAS for Fire Prevention Month 2026

In line with the national observance of Fire Prevention Month, Rosario National High School (RoNHS) officially launched Project LIGTAS (Laging Ihanda, Gabay Tungo sa Aksyon at Seguridad) this March 1–30, 2026. The initiative aimed to strengthen students’ awareness on fire safety and emergency preparedness.

The program was led by the school’s Disaster Risk Reduction and Management-Youth Organization (DRRM-YO) officers, headed by adviser Sir Randy B. Tolentino, who emphasized the importance of equipping learners with practical knowledge on fire prevention.

Two distinguished guest speakers from SDO Santiago Fire Station—FOI Rogelio L. Trinidad Jr. and FOI Christine Antonette B. Casil—graced the event and shared critical insights on fire safety.

FOI Trinidad opened the discussion with “Common Causes of House Fires,” highlighting preventive measures that households, schools, and communities must observe. He also demonstrated the proper way to extinguish a burning LPG tank through on-site examples conducted at the school grounds.

“Do not run or leave a burning LPG tank unattended. Instead, carefully tip it over and bring it outside, away from people,” Trinidad advised during the demonstration.

Following this, FOI Casil discussed the correct operation of a fire extinguisher—how to open, control, and safely shut it off. She also reminded students about essential emergency responses such as calling the fire station hotline and following designated exit routes during a fire.

The activity became even more engaging as selected RoNHS students experienced hands-on exercises, including putting out a burning LPG tank, using a fire extinguisher, and handling a fire hose nozzle from a fire truck.

The program concluded with the awarding of certificates to the guest speakers in recognition of their valuable contributions to promoting fire awareness and safety within the school.

Project LIGTAS served as a meaningful reminder of the importance of preparedness—ensuring that every RoNHS learner is informed, alert, and ready to act in times of emergency.
