Hon. Arnold T. Divina, City Councilor of District 2, Caloocan City, paid a visit to our City Fire Marshal, FSUPT Eugene M. Briones, MPA, to discuss a proposed ordinance aimed at enhancing public safety.
The ordinance (Ordinance No. 1130 𝘚. 2024), seeks to regulate the construction, installation, and maintenance of utility distribution lines, poles, and cables to eliminate safety hazards caused by dangling and improperly installed wires. It also establishes a dedicated task force for enforcement, imposes penalties for non-compliance, and mandates the issuance of implementing rules and regulations.
By enforcing these regulations, the ordinance will significantly reduce fire hazards associated with loose and overloaded utility lines—common causes of electrical fires.
This proactive measure will help prevent electrical short circuits and fire incidents, ensuring a safer environment for the residents of Caloocan City.
