BFP Cagayan de Oro Fire Inspector John Rey Donasco issued a public safety advisory warning against fire hazards associated with seasonal El Niño dry conditions and substandard holiday decorations.
Donasco urged consumers to purchase Christmas lights featuring official DTI Import Commodity Clearance (ICC) stickers rather than uncertified products.
He advised households to unplug electrical appliances and decorative lighting overnight to prevent electrical fires, urging public vigilance during the holiday season.
