THE LINKED Group’s security personnel at the First Philippine Industrial Park (FPIP) in Santo Tomas, Batangas, emerged as overall champion in the Industrial Division of the 32nd Urban Fire Olympics on Oct. 2, 2025.
The competition, which featured two main categories—the Barangay Division and the Industrial Division, aims to promote fire safety awareness, discipline and readiness among both community responders and industry-based teams.
Representing the pride of Batangas, the LINKED Group’s FPIP security personnel competed against four other industrial contingents, demonstrating exceptional teamwork, quick response and precise coordination during the firefighting and rescue drills.
During the opening ceremony, an event organizer said: “The Urban Fire Olympics is not just a simple exercise—it is a celebration of dedication, teamwork and our shared commitment to fire safety and community service.”
Displaying outstanding technical skill and composure under pressure, the team recorded the shortest completion time of six minutes and 46.80 seconds, securing the championship title.
Their success earned them the honor of representing Region IV-A in the National Fire Olympics in early 2026.
Throughout the event, participants displayed not only physical skill but also strong camaraderie and professionalism—values deeply aligned with the LINKED Group’s own mission and core principles.
Beyond the trophies and titles, the victory symbolizes something greater: the readiness and unity to promote fire safety and resilience.
It is a proud moment for the group, whose unwavering dedication to training, employee welfare and innovation continues to empower its personnel to respond effectively during emergencies.
