-DILG Act of 1990
-Bureau of Fire Protection
It is mandated to prevent and suppress
destructive fires, conduct investigation,
provide emergency medical and rescue
services and enforce the Republic Act 9514
Bureau of Fire Protection

Fire Code of the Philippines of 2008
What are the Implementing Rules and Regulations in the Revised Fire Code of the Philippines?
-Fire Safety Inspections
-Fire Safety Seminar
-Fire Drills
-Fire Brigade for establishments
employing at least 50 persons
____% of all structure fires occurred in residential properties.
76
____% of structural fire deaths occurred in residential properties
97
People feel the safest in their homes, however residential properties are where most fires and fire deaths occur. (TRUE OR FALSE)
TRUE
What are the top fire causes?
– Cooking (49%)
– Open Flame (10%)
– Heating (9%)
– Incendiary/Arson (8%)
– Smoking (4%)
It is the active principle of burning, characterized by the heat and light of combustion (RA 9514)
Fire
It is a rapid oxidation process accompanied with the evolution of light and heat of varying intensities.
Fire
What is in the tetrahedron of fire?
Heat, Fuel, Oxygen (oxidizing agent)
-all necessary to produce a fire
What are the stages of Fire?
-Ignition Stage
-Growth Stage
-Flash Over
-Fully Developed
-Decay
In this stage, there is plenty of oxygen, little heat and
smoke
Ignition Stage
In this stage, the oxygen level decreased and the fuel is already dried out. This can be continuous if there is enough fuel
and oxygen.
Growth Stage
In this stage, there is a presence of huge smoke which indicates
the rapid change of situation. This is where the Gasses are generated by heat.
Flash Over
In this stage, All combustibles materials present are continuously burning. While unburned gasses begin flowing to adjacent spaces and ignite once it enters a space where air more abundant.
Fully Developed
In this stage, intensity of fire decreasing due to lack of available fuel.
Decay
In this stage, Temperature and smoke level increases. Hot gasses rise to the ceiling and spreads outward the walls.
Growth stage
It is the Transition between growth and fully developed stage. In addition, there is an increasing level of smoke with decreased visibility.
Flash Over
In this stage, maximum amount of heat is released and the volume of fire is dependent of the number and size of ventilation openings.
Fully Developed
What are the Methods of Heat Transfer?
-By Radiation
-By Convection
-By Conduction
-By Direct Contact
It is the transmission of heat energy through electromagnetic wave.
Radiation
It is the transfer of heat energy by the movement of heated
fluids.
Convection
It is the transmission of heat from one body to another. It is the transfer of heat from one molecule to another molecule
Conduction
