🔥 ALWAYS READY, ALWAYS PREPARED! 🔥

As part of our continuous commitment to public safety, Medina Fire Station personnel executed their Weekly Skills Enhancement Drill focusing on the proper Donning of the Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA).

This activity is spearheaded by OIC Municipal Fire Marshal SFO4 Julieta G Wapanio, guided by Misamis Oriental Provincial Fire Marshal FSUPT ROEL G BACASNOT, and supervised by BFP-10 Acting Regional Director FSSUPT RICHARD V ARBUTANTE, DSC.

Mastering the SCBA is a vital skill for every firefighter. It provides breathable air in hazardous, zero-visibility environments—allowing to perform life-saving rescues and combat structural fires safely and effectively.

⚠️ REMINDER TO THE PUBLIC:
When emergency strikes, prioritize calling for help before sharing on social media!

‼️ DIAL FIRST, POST LATER! ‼️

𝗪𝗘𝗘𝗞𝗟𝗬 𝗦𝗞𝗜𝗟𝗟𝗦 𝗘𝗡𝗛𝗔𝗡𝗖𝗘𝗠𝗘𝗡𝗧 – Clove Hitch Center Catch and Clove Hitch on a Bight.

The BFP Medina Fire Station, headed by the OIC, Municipal Fire Marshal SFO4 Julieta G Wapanio, under the guidance of 𝐅𝐒𝐔𝐏𝐓 𝐑𝐎𝐄𝐋 𝐆 𝐁𝐀𝐂𝐀𝐒𝐍𝐎𝐓, Provincial Fire Marshal of Misamis Oriental, and with the direct supervision of 𝐅𝐒𝐒𝐔𝐏𝐓 𝐑𝐈𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐑𝐃 𝐕 𝐀𝐑𝐁𝐔𝐓𝐀𝐍𝐓𝐄, 𝐃𝐒𝐂, Acting Regional Director of BFP-10, demonstrates Clove Hitch Center Catch and Clove Hitch on a Bight.

In rescue work, both the Clove Hitch Center Catch and Clove Hitch on a Bight are important because they allow rescuers to secure, position, and control ropes efficiently. Their value is especially clear when setting up rescue systems, securing equipment, or managing a rope under load.

In case of emergency, don't wait—DIAL FIRST, POST LATER!

𝗪𝗘𝗘𝗞𝗟𝗬 𝗦𝗞𝗜𝗟𝗟𝗦 𝗘𝗡𝗛𝗔𝗡𝗖𝗘𝗠𝗘𝗡𝗧 – Tensionless Anchor and Tensionless with Back up.

The BFP Medina Fire Station, headed by the OIC, Municipal Fire Marshal SFO4 Julieta G Wapanio, under the guidance of 𝐅𝐒𝐔𝐏𝐓 𝐑𝐎𝐄𝐋 𝐆 𝐁𝐀𝐂𝐀𝐒𝐍𝐎𝐓, Provincial Fire Marshal of Misamis Oriental, and with the direct supervision of 𝐅𝐒𝐒𝐔𝐏𝐓 𝐑𝐈𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐑𝐃 𝐕 𝐀𝐑𝐁𝐔𝐓𝐀𝐍𝐓𝐄, 𝐃𝐒𝐂, Acting Regional Director of BFP-10, demonstrates tensionless anchor and tensionless with back up.

In rope rescue, your anchor is your lifeline. A Tensionless Anchor with Backup keeps nearly 100% of rope strength because friction holds the load, not a knot. It’s fast to set, easy to release after heavy loads, and gives us the redundancy required for life-safety systems.

In case of emergency, don't wait—DIAL FIRST, POST LATER!

🔥 Empowering the Youth for a Fire-Safe Community! 🔥

In active celebration of Llinggo ng Kabataan of Brgy South Poblacion, the personnel of Medina Fire Station recently stepped up to engage, educate, and empower the young leaders. Recognizing that safety begins with awareness, by utilizing this special occasion to champion a Fire-Safe Youth through a comprehensive Fire Safety Lecture under the Oplan Ligtas na Pamayanan (OLP) program.

The interactive session equipped the youth with essential, life-saving knowledge—from practical fire prevention tips and everyday household hazard identification to basic emergency response procedures. By teaching our young citizens how to stay calm, act fast, and take proactive measures, the Medina Fire Station continues to build a resilient neighborhood where every resident plays an active role in disaster preparedness.

The youth are not just the future of our community; they are our partners in safety today. A huge thank you to Barangay South Poblacion, the SK council, and our active BFP personnel for making this event a success!

BFP, PNP apprehend Fire Officer in an Illegal Recruitment Entrapment

The Bureau of Fire Protection, in a joint effort with the Philippine National Police (PNP), apprehended a BFP personnel allegedly involved in the illegal recruitment scam during an entrapment operation on Wednesday, August 5, in Dagupan City, Pangasinan.

The 36-year old suspect, holding the position of Fire Officer 3 (FO3), is currently assigned at one of the the fire stations in Region 1.

The operation stemmed when the 25-year old victim reported to PNP Dagupan City. The suspect allegedly demanded an amount of ₱150,000.00 in exchange for securing employment in the BFP. Acting quickly, the BFP Region 1 headed by Regional Director FCSUPT Antonio N Razal Jr, and Police Station 1, set up the entrapment operation.

During the operation, the victim handed the marked money inside a vehicle. The suspect noticed the approaching police and sped away and was eventually cornered. Investigators are still trying to locate the marked money, which may have been discarded during the pursuit.

The suspect is currently in PNP custody and faces inquest proceedings. He was previously suspended in a separate administrative case for a similar offense. In the past incident, he returned the money which prevented a formal entrapment at that time.

In a statement, BFP Officer-in-Charge FCSUPT Wilberto Rico Neil A Kwan Tiu said that the BFP remains committed to a strict and fair hiring process. “We do not tolerate corruption in our ranks. We are closely working with the police to ensure anyone exploiting applicants will face the law. We will hold our personnel accountable for their actions.” FCSUPT Kwan Tiu said.

The BFP, through the “OPLAN SANTINDIG,” conducts an anti-extortion campaign on recruitment, promotions and transfers to ensure integrity within its ranks. Applicants are reminded that payment is not required to gain entry in the BFP, and application is strictly based on merit and fitness. The public is encouraged to report any recruitment irregularities.
