The Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) is currently investigating the alleged use of a fire truck to refill a private swimming pool in Taytay, Rizal.
A memorandum signed by DILG Secretary Atty. Benjamin Abalos on Friday, August 16, stated that a photo of a fire truck refilling a private pool in Maharlika Village was posted by a Facebook user named "Taytay Updates."
The memo, addressed to Fire Director Louie Puracan, emphasized that the incident involves the "alleged unlawful use of a fire truck."
"Given the above, you are hereby directed to immediately conduct an investigation into the said incident to determine its validity. Identify the BFP personnel involved in such an unscrupulous act, and if warranted, they should be relieved from their post pending the results of a formal investigation," Abalos stated.
