Fire Handling Socialization Given to 120 People in North Jakarta"Ngongko activity took the topic with the community to increase awareness of fire hazards. This is very good and surely we support," he explained.
He explained that firefighters must visit citizens that is socializing danger or preventing fire and coordinating with the community.
"No gap between the firefighter and the community. We always do coordination with locals. Don't think we only work when disaster occurs," he stressed.
He assessed socialization with locals is very good, as it is packed casually and a discussion or question and answer session that can create a good relationship. It aims to make the citizens more aware of how to prevent and overcome fire.
"Similar action will be done consecutively. I also want to see the active sector in the management of the region," he exclaimed.
In addition, all RT/RW caretakers must have the fire agency's contact number at 112. Thus socialization can be held massively.
"We want a fire disaster response. Hopefully they (citizens) can be more aware of fire dangers," he stated.
