 INTRODUCTION

I. History of Barangay Inerangan

During the Spanish Regime, a certain visitor from the town of Bolinao
Pangasinan visited his girlfriend form Inerangan Pangasinan. When the
visitor was about to reach the house of his girlfriend, some residents saw him
and blocked his way. As soon as he saw the people, he was terrified and
went home immediately shouting the words “ INANG, HINARANG DAK!”
since then, they called the place Inerangan and became the permanent
name of the Barangay.

I. OBJECTIVES

This is the Inerangan National High School Contingency Plan on Fire. This document
was developed by the School Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Team headed by
CONCEPCION R. CARACAS (Assistant School Principal II/OIC- School Principal I) and
Ma. Rowena F. Tugade (SDRRM Coordinator).
This Contingency Plan aims to:
1. align with the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 has placed a duty on
employers to ensure the premises they occupy have suitable emergency
evacuation procedures in place.
2. establish the coordination and communication mechanisms with the DepEd
Alaminos City Division;
3. set the response and rehabilitation or early recovery roles and functions of the Polo
National High School for purposes of education continuity.
4. provide guidance for the continuing capacity building of Polo National High School
faculty and staff, parents, learners, and community stakeholders.
5. determine the preparedness, and prevention and mitigation measures to reduce the
impacts of the Fire; and
6. support the identification of needed equipment and supplies to reduce the impacts
of the Fire, like fire extinguisher.

II. FIRE HAZARD: Overview

A Brief History

The building standards and other safety regulations which address fire hazards
have become stricter over time. Construction methods which were once acceptable due to
low flammability may not be any more due to recognition of the harm that could occur if a
fire breaks out. This recognition often occurs due to a tragedy, such as the Triangle
Shirtwaist Fire (an occupational fire) and Grenfell Tower Fire (a residential fire).

The history of occupational fire hazards causing significant damage is very old. The
Great Fire of Rome (67 CE) started in the shops of merchants who sold “flammable
goods” near the Circus Maximus, while the Great Fire of London (1666 CE) was started in
a bakery, within a merchants district that held oil, pitch, tar, coal, tallow, fats, sugar,
alcohol, turpentine, and gunpowder.

As with other cases, the Great Fire of London led to situations that were previously
acceptable (e.g., London’s reliance on wooden construction) being re-classified as
hazardous.

Safeopedia Explains Fire Hazards

Fire hazards are a broad category. It includes anything which impedes the function
of fire protection material or equipment, as well as anything that inhibits fire safe behavior.
For instance, an obstruction which impedes safe evacuation and a malfunctioning sprinkler
system would both be considered fire hazards. This is because a facility's level of risk
factors in both the probability that a fire will occur and the severity of the potential harm
that could be caused by a fire if it did occur.

Our understanding of what counts as a fire hazard has changed over time—in
general, societies around the world have become less tolerant of fire risks, and as such,

Page 3 of 18
far more conditions are seen as being hazardous or unsafe. Taking this into account, a
“fire hazard” can thus be understood as anything which significantly increases the
likelihood of a fire occurring, intensifies a fire’s spread, or increases the potential harm a
fire could cause.

An item may also be considered a hazard in one context but be seen as non-
hazardous in another, lower-risk environment. For example, in occupational environments
that require the use of heat or flame, the use of non-fire-resistant clothing would be
considered hazardous. Minor amounts of flammable materials that would be considered
acceptable in normal environments become unacceptable if placed in an environment that
has an ignition source.

Because the amount of hazard (risk) that is created by an individual item is

dependent on the environment which it exists within, fire hazards are typically analyzed
from a “whole-workplace” or “whole-building” perspective. These risk assessments, which
are often legally required, are referred to as Fire Hazard Analyses (FHA) or Fire Risk
Assessments (FRA).

Fire Hazard Analyses and Fire Risk Assessments

An FHA is a type of engineering analysis that is designed to describe the risk of fire
present in an environment in both qualitative (descriptive) and quantitative (numeric)
terms. The FHA considers the severity of hazards in the area by evaluating the total risk of
hazards in a given area. An FHA can be risk-based and hazard-based—the former
considers the likelihood of a given scenario occurring, while the hazard-based model is
solely concerned with what could happen, regardless of probability.

The complexity of a fire hazard assessment can vary significantly. In very low-risk
workplaces a fire hazard assessment may be conducted by non-experts as part of a
general hazard analysis. In contrast, at high risk workplaces—such as industrial facilities—
it may be necessary to conduct a formal FHA that makes use of sophisticated calculations
that require a great deal of computing power to execute.

The Fire Triangle

Hazardous substances that increase the risk of fire can be considered with respect
to the Fire Triangle—a model of the three conditions that are necessary to start a fire (fuel,
an ignition source, and oxygen). A fire hazard is typically something that will either act as
fuel or as an ignition source.

CONSEQUENCES OF FIRE DAMAGE IN SCHOOL

Arson is the most common culprit in school fires, followed closely by classroom
experiments gone wrong. Either way, school fire damage is serious business, and may
have lingering effects.
The damage to the school building itself is the most obvious effect of fire damage,
since school buildings may be seriously compromised or even destroyed in the process.
Damage to the school building may result in it becoming uninhabitable for an extended
period of time, meaning that the school will have to find alternative locations in which to
hold classes, or temporarily transfer students to other schools until the fire damage has
been repaired.
If the school's administrative area is in the location of the fire, problems are
compounded due to the potential loss of student records and other important files. While
some computer files may be recovered, this is typically a project requiring months to
complete. Fires occurring during the summer can wreak havoc with the start of a new
school year, namely getting students registered and working out schedules.
Because most schools are so large, fires rarely engulf the entire facility, but even
fires that remain concentrated in one area may have lingering effects elsewhere with
smoke and soot being transferred to all areas of the school through the air and ventilation
system. Smoke damage can have serious effects on furniture, carpeting, computers,
canteen, and science labs.

Page 6 of 18
C. Other Effects of Fire Damage in Schools

Most schools are equipped with sprinkler systems which can also cause water
damage. Water damage of any type sets the stage for subsequent problems such as
mold. Untreated mold may make the school a health hazard even after the fire damage
has been cleaned up.

Another effect of school fire is that found among students and staff. Studies show
that staff morale takes a serious dip in the days and weeks following a school fire and
student performance is likely to suffer in the aftermath as well. This is the main reason why
school systems need to have a contingency plan in place in the event of a fire. This plan
should be designed to initiate repair and restoration service as soon as possible, as well
as providing a means for lessons and classes to continue even throughout the repair
process.

III. ACTIVATION, DEACTIVATION, AND NON-ACTIVATION OF CONTINGENCY

PLAN
The contingency measures in this document aligns with the 2019 NDRRMC
Harmonized National Contingency Plan (HNCP) and the Region I Contingency Plan
prepared by Mr. Jose Ritchie B. Perez, PDO II, Regional DRRMC Coordinator and the
SDO ALAMINOS CITY This will enable DepEd to have better coordination horizontally, i.e.
DepEd with other NDRRMC agencies, and vertically, i.e. DepEd Central Office (CO) down
to schools.

A. Activation
The activation of Inerangan National High School Contingency Plan for FIRE
is aligned with the activation of the Harmonized National Contingency Plan. If
the Hazard exist within the school, the Contingency Plan will be activated as
soon as possible.

B. Deactivation
The trigger for deactivation of this Contingency Plan for FIRE will be based
on the declaration of the Secretary, RD, SDS, and School Heads upon the
recommendation of National/Regional DRRMC1, BFP and other authorized
government agencies.
C.
D. Non-Activation
In the event that the HNCP is not activated, the response mechanisms
detailed in this plan can still be relevant for any hazard.
