Dagupan fire bureau bags top regional award
THE Dagupan City Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) bagged once again the Best Fire Station of the Year award, besting all participants from the different class A cities throughout Region 1.
City Fire Marshall Jesus Orpilla received the plaque of recognition from BFP Regional Director, Senior Superintendent Rodrigo Abrazaldo, during the 14th BFP Anniversary recently at the Sea and Sky Hotel and Restaurant in San Fernando City, La Union.
The BFP Program on Awards and Incentives for Service Excellence (PRAISE) chaired by Regional BFP Senior Inspector Aurelio Giron was guided by the following criteria that best favored Dagupan City for the Best Fire Station of 2005 award. These include effective fire protection activities, cleanliness and orderliness, maintenance of fire fighting equipment and observance of norms of conduct to BFP personnel.
The Dagupan City BFP under Orpilla has always maintained its high standard of service and operational effectiveness to the public. Orpilla himself was named outstanding city fire marshall of 2002 and arson investigator of the year 2004.
“We work hard in maintaining our status by regularly lecturing on fire prevention, conducting fire drills and checking on our personnel’s courtesy to the public,” Orpilla said.
The Dagupan City BFP was a consistent Best Fire Station in Region 1 from 1996, 1997, 1998, 2002 and 2005. Listed as its other achievements and distinctions are: highest fire code fees collection 1996, cleanest fire station 1996 and best maintained fire truck 2004. (CIO/ Leziel T. Cayabyab)
