MARCH is Fire Prevention Month in the Philippines, officially recognized under Presidential Proclamation 115-A. This nationwide initiative aims to raise awareness about fire safety. With fire incidents typically peaking during summer, this annual observance serves as an important reminder of the devastating impact of fires and the need for preventive measures to safeguard lives and property.
The most important prevention measure is to keep electrical systems in check, as faulty wiring and overloaded outlets are among the leading causes of residential fires. Next is practice safe cooking habits. Never leave cooking unattended, keep flammable materials away from stoves, and ensure gas tanks are properly installed and maintained. Another important reminder is to store flammable materials properly. Store flammable substances, such as gasoline, paint and chemicals, in well-ventilated areas away from heat sources. Never place curtains, papers, or clothes near stoves, heaters, or candles — small oversights can lead to major disasters. Fourth is to have a fire extinguisher on hand. Equip home or business with a fire extinguisher. This allows quick response to small fires before they escalate into a full-blown disaster. Get insurance to reduce the financial impact of a fire incident. 'Most individuals tend to focus on health, life, and personal accident insurance, but they may be missing out on the crucial protection that fire cash assistance offers. Although less common, this type of coverage provides invaluable peace of mind in the event of the unexpected. This Fire Prevention Month, we encourage everyone not only to learn how to prevent fires but also to be prepared in case they occur,' Palawan Group of Companies microinsurance arm, ProtekTodo, Brand Manager Meijhen Maulanin said.
