Fire safety and prevention are crucial in safeguarding lives and property, and the Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) Region 9 is taking proactive measures to enhance public awareness. In line with Fire Prevention Month, the BFP is hosting a Mall Exposition and Exhibit at SM City Mindpro on March 25-26, 2025, to educate the community on fire preparedness and safety measures.
The two-day event, held at the ground level activity area, aims to provide an immersive and informative experience for mallgoers. Attendees will have the opportunity to interact with fire safety professionals, explore a dynamic showcase of firefighting equipment, and witness life-saving demonstrations. These activities are designed to equip individuals with essential fire prevention knowledge and emergency response skills.
A highlight of the exposition is a live firefighting simulation, allowing participants to gain first-hand experience of the challenges firefighters face in combating fires. Additionally, educational talks on fire prevention strategies, emergency escape planning, and proper fire extinguisher usage will provide valuable insights into minimizing fire risks at home and in workplaces.
“We are thrilled to partner with BFP Region 9 in bringing this crucial advocacy closer to the community. Through this exhibit, we aim to equip the public with life-saving information and encourage a proactive approach to fire prevention,” said Aileen Ann Villa-Enriquez, SM City Mindpro Mall Manager.
Beyond the educational aspect, the event also features a live band performance to create a lively and engaging atmosphere while reinforcing fire safety awareness. By blending entertainment with informative sessions, the BFP and SM City Mindpro hope to make learning about fire safety an enjoyable experience for all attendees.
Fire safety is a shared responsibility, and events like this play a vital role in fostering a culture of preparedness and vigilance. The collaboration between BFP Region 9 and SM City Mindpro reflects a strong commitment to ensuring that individuals and families are well-equipped to prevent and respond to fire emergencies.
SM City Mindpro, as part of SM Supermalls’ commitment to disaster resilience, is proud to host this initiative, reinforcing the importance of fire safety within the local community. By engaging the public in hands-on activities and real-world simulations, the event empowers individuals to take proactive steps in protecting themselves and their surroundings.
