Delving deeper
on the crucial aspect of information and communications technology (ICT) in fire protection and safety
to advance the Bureau of Fire Protection’s goal towards modernization, the agency is currently exploring the interoperability project of the Department of
Information and Communication Technology (DICT)
through integration to the eGov Super App or eGOV
PH, a mobile application that simplifies transactions
between the government and citizens with a vision to

build a connected nation, which is a platform that integrates the multi-sectoral government through a onestop online system that will minimize economic cost for the citizens. Director June Vincent Manuel S. Gaudan
