Perez said he already received a letter of authority to investigate after submitting the fire investigation report and progress reported to the provincial police headquarters.
The report that included the gathered of specimens from the processed fire scene were already submitted to the arson laboratory while his office is waiting for the Scene of the Crime (SOCO) Operatives’ report.
The new set of BFP personnel in Pozorrubio led by the new Officer-In-Charge Fire Marshall Senior Fire Officer 3 Amante Battalao joined the Monday flag raising ceremony, according to Councilor Dennis Uy in a Facebook post.
The new team also paid a courtesy call on the members of the Sangguniang Bayan.

“We wished them well and we also expressed the SB’s support,” Uy added. (Eva Visperas)
