Mayor Leoncio B. Evasco, Jr. ordered the municipal engineer to start the inspection of electrical wirings in all local business establishments early Monday morning.

Evasco reminded local government employees, during Monday’s flag ceremony, to be cautious of their surroundings - especially electrical connections in their own houses and in their barangays. He narrated how his own family survived the August 16, 1952 conflagration that razed down several houses and the town’s public market.

The municipal mayor shared what the fire victims went through after such a devastating incident that lost around P500,000 worth of houses and properties. Evasco recalled waking up to the fire that reached a neighboring house and how he and his family quickly ran for safety.

Engr. Raul Bernard A. Jabines was instructed to inform all business owners that an evaluation of their electrical wirings will be conducted by the Engineering Department of the local government soon after. Upon evaluation, recommendations will be made to which the business proprietor will be advised to heed.

The mayor was hopeful that with a pro-active initiative such as this, the town would continue to be safe from any untoward disasters, such as fires, that can be prevented if necessary precautions are observed.
