Bureau of Fire Protection National Capital Region (BFP NCR) Regional Director C. Supt. Nahum B. Tarroza (inset photo), shakes the hand of Chief BFP Director Louie S. Puracan during the New Year’s Call event at Linsangan Hall, BFP National Headquarters in Quezon City on January 11, 2024. The New Year’s Call is an age-old tradition in the Fire Bureau that allows subordinate officials to manifest courtesy and loyalty to the Chief BFP. It is also an opportune time for the organization to renew its pledge of loyalty to the flag and the duly constituted authorities at the start of every year. The BFP chief also issued his command guidance in line with 2024 operational thrusts in reducing fire incidents, emergency readiness, and anti-corruption campaign. (Benjie J. Murillo / BFP-NCR Photos)
