ASIPULO, Ifugao – The Asipulo fire station recently inspected at least 64 government-owned buildings in the municipality to ascertain fire safety measures, and compliance to Republic Act 9514, or the Fire Code of the Philippines.
Fire Officer II Van-Nessa Subagan-Buhong said the inspection aims to ensure that government buildings meet fire safety standards, and that occupants are well-prepared to respond effectively to fire emergencies.
