As Iloilo City gears up for the grandest celebration of the year—the Dinagyang Festival 2026, the Iloilo City Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) has been in full preparation, intensifying its safety inspections and fire prevention efforts to ensure the city remains secure during the festivities. From monitoring crowded food hubs to coordinating emergency response units, the BFP’s rigorous readiness serves as the vital backbone that allows the city to celebrate with complete confidence.
The BFP Iloilo is working tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure that every kitchen, from grand hotels to local food stalls, remains safe. In a significant move that underscores their commitment to public safety, BFP Iloilo has stepped forward as a proud partner of Solane, one of the country’s leading LPG provider.
The Partnership we knew we needed
The Iloilo City Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) is the primary government agency responsible for fire prevention and suppression, as well as the enforcement of the Fire Code of the Philippines within the city. Beyond responding to emergencies, Iloilo City BFP is dedicated to proactive community education, conducting rigorous inspections of commercial and residential establishments to ensure public safety.

In their line of work, they witness firsthand the devastating consequences of substandard LPG tanks and faulty installations. Because they see the risks every day, they are meticulous about the equipment they use in their own facilities and events. By choosing Solane, the BFP is sending a powerful message to every Ilonggo: fire safety is not just something they teach; it is a standard they practice.
For the BFP, Solane is the clear choice because of its rigorous safety protocols. The “Expert’s Choice” is rooted in Solane’s 7-Point Safety Check and Verified Seal, which guarantee that every tank is in top-notch condition, properly weighed, and securely sealed. If the very people responsible for fire prevention trust Solane to prevent accidents, the public can rest assured that they are in good hands.
Proactive Protection for Dinagyang 2026
This year’s Dinagyang Festival is a high-stakes event for the city’s culinary scene. With thousands of residents and tourists flocking to food hubs like Plazuela, the pressure on kitchens to deliver the perfect timpla is immense. The partnership between Iloilo City BFP and Solane highlights a proactive stance toward safety. Instead of merely responding to emergencies, the BFP is partnering with Solane to prevent them before they start.
This collaboration aligns perfectly with the BFP’s mission of “A Fire-Safe Nation” and Solane’s promise of “Peace of Mind.” This Dinagyang 2026, Solane provides the reliable fuel that allows Ilonggo hospitality (pag-amoma) to shine. With the BFP’s seal of approval, cooks can focus on their heart’s craft, knowing their foundation is secure.
A Shared Mission of Safety
The partnership serves as a reminder that safety is a shared responsibility. As Iloilo City BFP personnel maintain a heightened alert throughout the festival, their choice to use and endorse Solane reinforces the importance of using only genuine, high-quality LPG.
