𝐏𝐎𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 𝐎𝐅 𝐏𝐀𝐆𝐀𝐋𝐔𝐍𝐆𝐀𝐍 𝐒𝐀𝐍𝐈𝐓𝐀𝐑𝐘 𝐋𝐀𝐍𝐃𝐅𝐈𝐋𝐋 𝐂𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇𝐄𝐒 𝐅𝐈𝐑𝐄, 𝐐𝐔𝐈𝐂𝐊𝐋𝐘 𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐓𝐀𝐈𝐍𝐄𝐃
Pagalungan, CdeO — Emergency responders swiftly acted after a portion of the Pagalungan Sanitary Landfill caught fire earlier today, April 2, preventing the situation from escalating. First, flames roared up fast, yet crews jumped right in and tamed the chaos before it spread.
Initial reports indicate that the fire had already intensified upon discovery but was immediately addressed through coordinated efforts from multiple response teams. Moreover, fire trucks from the City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Department rolled out strong, and teams kept refilling water nonstop to soak every last ember.
Landfill Heroes Team Up Like Pros
APOO’s Engr Gabriel Francis De Guzman, ABE Division Chief, charged in alongside Bernard Tumaneng and Michou Gee Tobil with their backhoe unit after an urgent call from Engr. Bernie. Then, heavy equipment from the City Engineer’s Office joined the fight, pushing dirt and smashing hot spots like true MVPs.
City officials emphasized that the swift and coordinated response reflects the directive of Mayor Rolando “Klarex” Uy, who has consistently pushed for unity and teamwork among all departments during emergency situations. Finally, responders prepped the site for soil covering once the waste cooled, and the Earthworks group requested backup to lay down that protective “tambon” layer. No injuries popped up, and crews still watch the spot close to stop any sneaky re-ignition.
