In an interview with Bombo Radyo, Iloilo City Fire Marshal Fire Senior Superintendent Melanie Habawel emphasized that the campaign aims to strengthen public awareness about fire prevention and safety.
According to Fire Senior Superintendent Bartolome Biliran, Fire Marshal of Iloilo Province, March was designated as Fire Prevention Month due to the high number of fire incidents recorded during this period.
