CB BANGOY SR FIRE STATION Situational Update. BACKGROUND.
E N D
BACKGROUND Known is the fact that the City of Davao is the biggest in the whole world in terms of land area. It became a chartered city in 1937. As it is known today, Davao City was once a part of one Davao Province before it was divided into different provinces in 1967. The city, with the influx of immigrants became congested. Business bloomed and different structures consequently sprouted. Fortuitous calamity threatened the Growing Queen City of the south. The major disasters waiting ahead are fires, floods, earthquakes and crimes. Shortly after the liberation, there was still no fire department until 1947. The big fire which occurred in Magallanes Street, Davao City compelled the Davao City Council to pass a resolution appropriating funds for the operation of a fire station. In late of year 1947, Lt Col Isidro Palacio started the pioneering fire department at Ponciano Reyes Street, presently known to us now the CAYETANO B BANGOY SR FIRE STATION or CB BANGOY SR FIRE STATION.
The first Davao City Fire Station at Ponciano Reyes Street started with eight (8) personnel. During that time, Chief Palacio made effort in appropriating bigger funds in acquiring three (3) equipped firetrucks which later until 1958 increased to eight (8) firetrucks, the employed firefighters increased to fifty two (52) and one hundred fifty one (151) fire alarms were installed in the City and in suburbs. Horrible, disastrous, treacherous fires increased also happening as far as Mintal, Calinan and Toril. In 1958, the second fire station was born near the Sta. Ana wharf, at the corner of Alvarez Street and Monteverde Avenue. The main building which was recently demolished formerly housed the office of the then Fire Department and the main fire station. In the beginning, the entire lot surrounded by roads was reserved for Davao City Fire Station building site purposes by then President Ramon Magsaysay. We are referring now to the Central Fire Station and the office of the District Fire Marshal.
