Apart from distributing BFP’s campaign materials, CCPO also asked BFP-7 personnel to take part in their monthly talk with citizens and barangay officials to give them means to reach the grassroots.
“We have a monthly dialogue with the community together with barangay officials. So we told BFP that if they have speakers who could talk about fire prevention, they could speak there.”
