The Bureau of Animal Industry (BAI), through its Animal Health and Welfare Division, conducted a three-day Capacity Building on Animal Handling, Humane Restraint, and Emergency Response for personnel of the Bureau of Fire Protection โ National Capital Region (BFP-NCR) on September 22โ24, 2026, in Metro Manila.
The training aimed to enhance the knowledge, skills, and preparedness of BFP-NCR personnel in handling animals that may be encountered during fire incidents, rescue operations, vehicular accidents, flooding, and other emergency and disaster situations. Throughout the activity, participants took part in lectures, demonstrations, hands-on exercises, and assessments covering animal behavior, scene assessment, responder safety, bite prevention, humane restraint and extraction, emergency animal triage, and relevant legal and ethical considerations.
The participants also gained practical knowledge on the proper use of animal restraint equipment, safe lifting procedures, and appropriate extraction techniques, ensuring that animals can be rescued safely while minimizing risks to both responders and the animals involved.
Beyond technical skills, the training emphasized the importance of coordination and inter-agency collaboration among BFP personnel, veterinary authorities, Local Government Units (LGUs), and animal welfare stakeholders in responding to emergencies involving animals. Through this initiative, the BFP-NCR continues to strengthen its operational readiness and response capabilities, ensuring that every rescue operation is carried out with competence, compassion, and respect for life.
