The Philippine Red Cross Negros Occidental–Bacolod City Chapter Emergency Response Unit (ERU), under the leadership of Chapter Administrator Rita Benita P. Mirasol, represented during the graduation by Ma. Cornelia Zarceño, and with the steadfast support of Chairman Carlos S. Ganihong, successfully concluded the 4-Day Mandatory Fire Brigade Training in partnership with the Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) Bacolod.

On the final day, participants underwent the Final Practicum in Interior Fire Fighting and Search and Rescue, where they demonstrated the knowledge, discipline, and operational skills acquired throughout the training. Under the guidance of BFP instructors, participants applied firefighting and rescue techniques in simulated emergency scenarios, emphasizing teamwork, safety, and effective response.

The program concluded with a Graduation Ceremony, recognizing the dedication, perseverance, and commitment of every participant in completing the training. More than receiving a certificate, each graduate leaves with enhanced competence, greater confidence, and a renewed responsibility to protect lives and property whenever emergencies arise.

The Philippine Red Cross Negros Occidental–Bacolod City Chapter extends its sincere appreciation to the Bureau of Fire Protection Bacolod, headed by FSUPT Jenny Mae C. Masip, MPA, represented by SFO1 Jose Samuel G. Lapuz, together with the entire BFP Bacolod team, for their invaluable partnership, exemplary instruction, and unwavering dedication to advancing fire safety and emergency response.

This successful collaboration is a testament to what can be achieved when agencies work together with one purpose—to build communities that are prepared, resilient, and ready to respond when every second counts.

We also extend our heartfelt gratitude to Barangay Taculing, the Barangay Taculing Community Fire Auxiliary Group (CFAG), and the Barangay Taculing Sangguniang Kabataan (SK) Council for generously providing the venue for Day 3 of the training. Your support and collaboration greatly contributed to the success of this program and reflected our shared commitment to advancing fire safety, emergency preparedness, and community resilience.

Together, we continue to uphold our commitment to humanity through preparedness, partnership, and service. 🔥
