volunteers," said City Fire Marshal Senior Insp. Jerry Lamanero.
Lamanero said provincial and city fire marshals in the region attended Monday's activities hosted by the General Santos City Fire Station.
The city fire department is also going to conduct series of fire drills this month to further hone the skills of firemen in firefighting, according to Lamanero.
He revealed that an energy company and a fast food chain have already requested a seminar on fire prevention measures and fire safety.
Lamanero also said the city fire station now has six fire trucks, including one sent by the national government.
