The Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) Directorate for Communication and Information Technology Management in partnership with the Department of Information and Communication Technology (DICT) hold a comprehensive fire simulation exercise utilizing the cutting-edge E-Report System developed by DICT. The system is design to streamline the reporting process of fire incidents for swift communication and coordination among fire stations in the National Capital Region (NCR) to ensure quick response time. In the simulation of different types of fire incidents and leveraging the capabilities of the E-Report System, the stakeholders were able to assess its functionality, identify potential areas for improvement, and fine-tune protocols for seamless integration into operational procedures. The exercise was held at Manila Fire District 1 Headquarters in Rizal Avenue, Manila on February 16, 2024. DCITM is headed by C. Supt. Jonas R. Silvano (left, top photo). (Benjie J.
