Aligned with Fire Prevention Month, the National Simultaneous Fire Drill was conducted across SM Bulacan malls in partnership with the Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP). This significant initiative was a key component of the month’s activities, designed to bolster community awareness and understanding of vital fire safety practices, aligning with the BFP’s theme for the year, “Sa pag-iwas sa sunog, hindi ka nag-iisa.”
The initiative took place at SM City Marilao, SM City Baliwag, and SM Center Pulilan, featuring educational and interactive activities tailored for participants of all ages. The event included live fire extinguisher demonstrations, fire safety workshops led by BFP experts, and emergency evacuation drills, equipping attendees with essential skills and knowledge for fire emergency situations.
This successful event also highlighted the strong collaboration between SM Supermalls and BFP, showcasing a united effort towards safety and preparedness.
As a member of ARISE—Philippines, SM is dedicated to promoting a culture of disaster risk reduction and resilience on both a global and national scale.
