Melgarejo To Boarding Houses Owners: Comply Building and Fire Safety Code
"Most boarding houses we inspected violated the Fire Code of the Philippines. Some owners tried to cover up their violations and went as far as claiming that the students renting their rooms are their relatives," Melgarejo declared.
Under the law, BFP could recommend the closure of any establishment or boarding house violating the law on fire safety.
SFO4 Darius Melgarejo of the Bureau of Fire Protection’s (BFP-Aklan) appealed to boarding house owners to comply with the building and fire code, or face closure.
Of particular concern to the task force are boarding houses located in densely populated areas.
A task force on fire safety vowed to intensify its inspection activities to assess the compliance of boarding houses in Kalibo on fire safety standards.
Among the common violations of boarding houses, the task force observed, are substandard electrical wirings, cramped rented rooms, inadequate bathrooms and water facilities, revealed Melgarejo.
He said, BFP-Aklan led by Chief Insp. Dennis Daymon regularly checks boarding houses and student occupants especially on C. Laserna area, at the back of Gaisano Mall Kalibo and Brgy. Estancia; and those in the vicinity of colleges and high schools.
"We can prevent disasters from happening in boarding houses with no adequate fire exits and safety devices. Student boarders just have to report to us the violations of the owners of their boarding houses," Melgarejo stressed.
For his part, Mayor Raymar Rebaldo also ordered an inter-agency task force composed of the Municipal Health Office, Municipal Planning and Development Office, Municipal Engineers Office, BFP and the Kalibo PNP to conduct massive inspections on establishments and boarding houses in Kalibo to determine compliance to existing municipal regulations. /MP mailto:madyaas_pen@yahoo.com
