Ormoc City – The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) Leyte 4th District Engineering Office (DEO) took part in the kickoff ceremony for Fire Prevention Month on Monday, March 3, 2025, spearheaded by the Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP). This year’s theme, “Sa Pag-Iwas sa Sunog, Hindi Ka Nag-Iisa”, is a reminder to look out for each other–whether at home, in the workplace, or in the community–to prevent fires and stay safe.

The event gathered various government agencies, non-government organizations, and private institutions in Ormoc City for a motorcade which marked the start of the ceremony. The program that followed was held at the Ormoc City Fire Station wherein the DPWH Leyte 4th DEO received a Certificate of Recognition for their support in promoting fire safety and awareness.

As Fire Prevention Month continues, the Department encourages the public to stay informed and take necessary precautions to avoid fire-related incidents—because fire safety is everyone’s responsibility. (PR)
