Kalibo Mayor Raymar Rebaldo Welcomes New Fire Truck


Kalibo, Aklan – Kalibo Mayor Raymar Rebaldo welcomes the arrival of the Kalibo Fire Station’s new addition to their aging fleet of fire trucks last Jan. 22, 2010. An Isuzu Fire Truck with a 1,000 gallon water capacity will update its fire fighting capability during accidental fires.

Rebaldo is informed of the availability of a new Fire Truck by Fire Senior Supt. Mario Timonera, Chief of Comptroller of the Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) during the week.
In turn, he sent Fire Inspector Patricio Collado-BFP Kalibo Chief, SFO1 Jerry Deferia and FO1 Sidgie Gerardo to a Fire Truck Warehouse in Caloocan to take charge in the paperwork preparation and bring the vehicle to Kalibo.

The new fire truck is a result of Rebaldo’s several requests to BFP National Headquarters supported with a Resolution by the Sangguniang Bayan of Kalibo.

The new Fire Truck is painted red in accordance with the international color of distress and emergency. It includes high velocity water pump and engine, collapsible ladder, fire hose, nozzle, fireman’s axe and others. /MP
