Taguig City Phillipines - City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office

Taguig City has a population of 1.2 million - it is adjacent to Manila

https://website.taguig.info/peace-and-order/ - they dont even list 911
on this page

typo on PNP Rescue phone number - should end in 6792 per bottom of
page - that is Natl Police - do they have rescue trucks also?

https://maps.app.goo.gl/J1mbxQ4LofgdAkmQ6 - approx dozen city fire
trucks at city veterinarian office

problem seems to be that Phillipines has too many people - and they
try to give everyone a job - so they end up with 3 FDs in many cities
- national FD / BFP + city FD / barangay halls + volunteer fire
companies (many are chinese)

BFP has maybe 7 fire stations in Taguig City - they just added 1 more
in August 2024 - each has at least 1 engine with 4 people - some
stations might have 2 engines - this is the paid career FD -
apparently they have scba and can do interior firefighting - they
might have 1 ladder truck and 1 rescue truck if they are lucky

most blds are masonry 1 story with metal roofs so major fires are rare
except in the shanty towns where walls might be made from cardboard
