(File photo) MANILA - Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) Secretary Eduardo M. Ano on Tuesday urged the public to be more vigilant in exercising fire safety protocols to prevent damage to properties and loss of lives. This as the country recorded 94 fire incidents during the first four days of March which is declared as Fire Prevention Month under Proclamation 115-A. "We are just four days in the Fire Prevention Month but we have close to 100 cases already. We remind our kababayans to be vigilant in this uptick of fire incidents and do their shared responsibility in keeping these unfortunate fires from happening," he said in a news release. Ano said that based on the latest data of the Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP), these fire incidents caused more than PHP20.4-million worth of damage to properties and killed seven individuals nationwide. He, however, said this number is smaller compared to the 161 fire incidents tallied in the same period last year. For
