The state-of-the-art vehicles are designed to enhance firefighting capabilities significantly. Each fire truck has a large 500-gallon water tank, ensuring ample supply for combating fires. Another key feature of the trucks is the high-powered fire pump, which can move more water quickly during response.

The trucks have hose compartments which can hold up to 500 feet of delivery hose and contains roller-shutter cabinets for storing firefighting tools and equipment. These vehicles are equipped with a Public Address system, spotlights, strobe light bar, revolving lights, and a motor siren. Essential equipment like hoses, fireman’s gear, suction hoses, nozzles, wrenches, and safety gear are also onboard for emergencies.

On the other hand, the new motorcycles are specifically designed for faster response to fires and medical emergencies. Each motorcycle is equipped with a fire extinguisher installed on each side and a storage box designed to carry medical supplies.

During the turnover ceremony, which also coincides with the City Fire Olympics, Taguig Mayor Lani Cayetano emphasized the City’s support for BFP-Taguig’s programs. “Ang araw po na ito ay araw ng pagpapahalaga  natin sa kahandaan ng City Government sa pagtama po sa atin ng mga kalamidad, partikular po ng sunog,” said Mayor Lani.

She also noted that the Taguig City Disaster Risk and Management Office works closely with Taguig-BFP in responding to disasters and emergencies in Taguig. BFP Senior Superintendent Eddie Tanawan thanked the City of Taguig and Mayor Lani for its continuous support. He urged the community to be vigilant to prevent disasters and avoid accidents.

In 2023, to mark her first year back in office, Mayor Lani also led the turnover of P90-Million worth of vehicles and equipment to BFP, Philippine National Police, and its barangays, staying true to her commitment to prioritize the safety of all Taguigueños.
