“Interdependent people combine their own efforts with the efforts of others to achieve their greatest success.” So said Stephen Covey.

And so do the Batangas City Fire Station and Triskelion Rescue and Emergency Assistance Team (TREAT), Phils., Inc. as the partners renewed their teamwork in a program on August 11.

With the theme, “10 Taon ng Boluntaryong Pagtulong sa Kapwa at Pagliligtas ng Buhay,” the cooperation and teamwork among the Bureau of Fire Protection – Batangas City Fire Station, the City Government, and civilian volunteers like Triskelion are a strong combination in protecting lives and property from fire.

“Public safety through fire prevention and fire suppression is a responsibility the BFP cannot bear on its own. We need the faithful and selfless help of volunteers like Triskelion and the cooperation of the community,” said F/SInsp Elaine Baylon-Evangelista, Batangas City fire marshal.

Triskelion, with 70 active members, has been a devoted partner of the BFP Batangas City for a decade now not only in terms of firefighting efforts of the government but also in rescue operations in times of disasters or emergencies.

Evangelista added that with the present inadequacy of the personnel of the Fire Station with only 28 personnel, volunteers like Triskelion is a big boost to its force. 10 years

The renewal of partnership and revitalization program between the City Fire Station and TREAT coincided with the team’s 10th anniversary celebration.

“Today is the beginning of a more empowered partnership among public servants, driven by one goal that is public safety,” said Evangelista.

“Our collective goal is to have the trust and confidence of the people of Batangas City, with them knowing that they are safe from any harm because a reliable team of firefighters and lifesavers are there for them anytime, anywhere,” Evangelista added.

The lady fire marshal also said that with this move of cooperation, she hopes to encourage more volunteers for the noble service of saving lives and property. (PIO Batangas City)
