🔥 Why Fire Awareness Month Matters
March isn’t just about exams and project deadlines. It’s also Fire Prevention Month, a time when we highlight one of the most common — yet underestimated — disasters in urban settings like Makati. In schools, dorms, and even coffee nooks, one spark is all it takes.
“Preparedness isn’t paranoia. It’s power.” — DRRRCentral Team
📖 Past Fires That Changed the Game
From the 1996 Ozone Disco Tragedy to recent dormitory fires in Metro Manila, every disaster has taught the same hard lesson: fire spreads faster than fear. With just 2 minutes before a room gets engulfed, early action saves lives.
🔢 Fire Facts:
- 🔥 13,029 fire incidents in the Philippines (2023)
- 🏫 12% occurred in educational buildings
- ⏱ Average response time: 8–10 minutes
🧯 Step-by-Step: What to Do If Fire Strikes in Mapúa
If a fire breaks out during class:
- Stay calm. Alert those around you.
- Use the nearest fire alarm or call 911.
- Evacuate immediately using staircases (never elevators).
- Cover your mouth with cloth to reduce smoke inhalation.
- Assemble at the designated safe zone.
📝 Bonus: We’ve included a visual infographic at the end of this article.
