News Update Clark gets P29-million fire truck

CLARK FREEPORT - Officials of Clark Development Corp. announced the upgrading of the firefighting capability of the state-owned firm with the acquisition of a modern fire truck worth P29 million capable of handling emergency situations even in high-rise-buildings at this Freeport zone.

CDC Vice President Frank Madlangbayan of the Operations and Technical Services said the procurement of the new fire truck from South Korea became a must because of the increasing number of investments, including construction of high-rise here and nearby Metro Clark areas.

With the arrival of new equipment for the Public Safety Department of CDC, Madlangbayan said the state-owned firm now has three fire trucks that can be dispatched in case of emergency in the area.
