“The fire chief and three other BFP personnel (in Tanay) were relieved. That’s the initial action taken while the investigation is ongoing,” Atienza said.
“Yes it did happen, we saw it in the (Facebook) post. What we are trying to find out is who gave the authority and who made the request. We are also waiting for the explanation of the personnel (involved),” she added.
Earlier, Interior and Local Government Secretary Benhur Abalos ordered an investigation after seeing on social media the pictures of a fire truck being used to refill the private swimming pool in Maharlika Village in Tanay.
