The Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) and the Las Piñas City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (LPCDRRMO) have stepped up preparations for flood emergencies through a four‑day training program for emergency responders.

Firefighters from the Las Piñas City Fire Station’s Special Rescue Force (SRF) and Operations Section participated in the Flood Incident Response and Safety Training (FIRST) 2026, conducted from Aug. 24 to 27 at Laiya Grande Beach Resort in Barangay Laiya Aplaya, San Juan, Batangas.

The activity aimed to improve the ability of BFP and city disaster responders to work together during emergencies, particularly when flooding requires immediate rescue and evacuation operations.
