THE Cagayan de Oro Volunteer Fire Brigade inducted its new set of officers for 2027 led by president Macduffie Tan during a ceremony held November 8 at Mallberry Business Suites.
The guest speaker of the event was Misamis Oriental Gov. Juliette Uy who lauded the courage of the volunteer firefighters who lent their time despite the whole year despite the implied risks involved.
The Cagayan de Oro Volunteer Fire Brigade also used the occasion to display their newly acquired protective gear which was also donated by benefactors within their own membership who wish to remain anonymous.
It was businessman Sonny Choi who steered the group in 2026 being the outgoing president of the Cagayan de Oro Volunteer Fire Brigade. Under his watch, the group was able to respond to dozens of fire incidents the whole year.
Operating from a street in barangay Nazareth, the Cagayan de Oro Volunteer Fire Brigade has currently a total of six fire engines. This does not include firetrucks owned by companies who are members of the group.
Choi thanked his fellow members for heeding the call to service, protecting not only their own businesses but the whole community of Kagay-anons.
The evening was capped with closing remarks by director Stephen Gaisano III.
