He also took the opportunity to thank the firefighters who responded to a recent fire incident in the university. “Rest assured that you will have the full support of CLSU as your partner in this kind of endeavor. Salamat din sainyo dahil kamakailan lamang ay nakaranas kami sa CLSU ng malawakang sunog sa aming bamboo plantation at sa inyong mabilis at matiyagang pag-responde ay naapula ang apoy at naiwasang madamay ang aming Broiler Project sa sunog,” said Dr. Abella. The program then proceeded with a presentation of information about the importance of fire safety awareness and the steps necessary for fire prevention to more than 200 faculty, staff, and students. In addition, the Fire Officers demonstrated first aid training, proper use of tools during fire incidents, and rappelling which can be useful in times of fire disasters. Ms. Kimberly Paray, a fourth-year Civil Engineering student who attended the event conveyed the importance of having an event like this to educate them with skills that are useful in emergency situations. “First time kong maka-attend ng ganitong event at talagang marami akong natutunan kasi importante na malaman natin kung ano ang mga dapat gawin kapag may sunog at yung tamang paggamit ng mga equipment,” Ms. Paray added. Also in attendance are Dr. Ravelina R. Velasco, VP for Academic Affairs, along with the BFP Officers from San Jose City headed by FSInsp. Julius R.
