COPS CONDUCT FIRE DRILL

FOLLOWING the series of fires, members of the Cebu City Police Office (CCPO) conducted a fire drill in their headquarters in Gorordo Avenue last Tuesday.

The drill was conducted so the policemen would know how to assist firemen, said Supt. Carmelo Dayon, chief of the Cebu City Police Public Safety Company.

During the drill, policemen used “ringa,” an improvised sprayer made of aluminum tube, in putting out a fire while waiting for the arrival of firefighters.

Some policemen were also equipped with fire extinguishers./CORRESPONDENT CHITO O. ARAGON
