The Ormoc Junior Fire Fighters (OJFF), successfully held their 3rd City DRRM Youth Camp and Skills Enhancement Youth Camp last November 26-29, 2020.
The camp was attended by both old and new members of the organization and was aimed to fully capacitate fire fighters among the youth. The activities done include; Basic First-aid/Basic Life Support (CPR & AED), Basic Fire Safety and Fire Fighting, Standard and Australian Rappelling, Health Emergency Medical Services, and Mass Casualty Incident. The intensity of the camp was significantly higher in comparison to the previous ones. This was done so to fully equip each member with a practical set of skills that can be utilised during emergencies and life-threatening situations.
The OJFF hopes that the said camp will bring forth not just a sense of accomplishment, but also a sense of responsibility from each member. For them to actively help in promoting fire safety awareness and disaster resiliency to the public through their own innovative efforts, and to gain the support of the general populace towards the said endeavour.
For a productive and youthful Ormoc, and for a disaster-resilient youth!
PS: Health and Safety protocols were properly observed during the whole duration of the camp.
