The ceremony kicked off with a warm welcome from Mrs. Susan C. Sibulo, OIC-Department Head, followed by the message delivered by Mrs. Mariglo S. Bayot, Head Teacher III, then a statement of purpose from Mr. Jomar A. Liveta, SDRRM Coordinator, and the presentation of the participants was facilitated by Ms. Irene M. Dulay, Teacher III. Ms. Reginee Reforma enthusiastically introduced the guest speaker, SFVO1 Kevin Trinidad. SFVO1 Kevin Trinidad shared his extensive knowledge about preventing fire, avoiding fire, and using fire extinguishers properly.
“If we are using fire extinguishers, we are going to use the word TPASS. T for the twist, P for pulling the pin, A for aiming the nozzle at the base of the fire, S for the squeeze lever, and the last S stands for sweeping the nozzle side to side until the fire is out. TPASS can also help us gain knowledge about using fire extinguishers.” SFVO1 Kevin Trinidad of Barangay San Francisco FDRT.
