Introduction

Fire has been a component of the learning process since mankind first began
building structures out of wood rather than stone. In fact, these infernos have
been so regular throughout history that practically every major city in the globe
has been largely burned to the ground at some point. Some have, in fact, burnt
repeatedly. Fire is combustion or burning, in which highly reactive compounds
interact chemically with oxygen from the air to produce intense light, heat, and
smoke. Fire disasters can be accidental (caused by human error or
carelessness), providential (natural), or malicious (resulting from the crime of
arson). The "wilful malicious burning of property (as a building) especially with
criminal intent" is known legally as "arson."

Most municipal governments provide fire protection as one of their core

community services. A full-time, professional fire department provides fire
protection in larger cities. Fire prevention is one of the basic activities
performed by these departments. The prevention of fires can result from many
factors other than fire department efforts. However, as used here, fire
prevention is the set of activities performed by fire department personnel for
the purpose of preventing the occurrence of fires and reducing the potential
severity of fires.

The Bureau of Fire Protection is an agency of the Department of the Interior

and Local Government (DILG) in charge of enforcing national firefighting and
prevention policies, as well as enforcing the Philippine Fire Code (PD 1185),
which has been repealed and replaced by the New Fire Code of the
Philippines (RA 9514). The BFP, formerly known as the Integrated National
Police Fire Service, is in charge of administering and managing municipal and
city fire and emergency services throughout the country. The BFP also runs
fire prevention programs in order to reduce the number of fires in our country.
Everyone is responsible for fire safety and prevention, so we must all know
how to perform these things. It is critical to have a fundamental understanding
of how a fire occurs and behaves within a structure. The Bureau of Fire
Protection has workers on duty 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Fire is one
of those natural disasters that cannot be predicted; it can occur at any time of
day or night, which is why we have the take any action, there are a number of
preparations that must be made, one of which is to prepare the firefighting
apparatus.

Background of the Study

The local government is directly responsible for the people's safety. knowledge
of the situation and associated resource requirements, as well as proximity to
Both the event and the resources are involved. It features an emergency
services department that is equipped with the The ability to respond to
emergencies 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Law enforcement,
fire/emergency medical services, and public works are among them. They
could also be Also known as emergency responders or first responders. The
Fire Department

The Philippine Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) is a government body tasked

with suppressing and preventing the spread of destructive fires, enforcing
related laws, and providing emergency medical and rescue services.

THE BUREAU OF FIRE PROTECTION (BFP) requires more satellite training

centers to continuously train aspirant firefighters. Currently, the BFP has 4,000
applicants who have yet to undergo training because some regions lack
training centers. If there are no satellite training centers, the numbers will grow,
according to Baruelo.

Every day, the country's firemen face a variety of obstacles, including not only
fires but also natural and man-made disasters.However, in addition to external
challenges, the men and women of the Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) suffer
internal issues. throughout addition to a lack of staff and equipment, the BFP
discovered that 304 municipalities throughout the country still lack fire stations
 and fire trucks. Ninety-six of these communities are in Muslim Mindanao's
impoverished Bangsamoro Autonomous Region.

TACLOBAN CITY – The Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) revealed on Thursday

that at least 16 municipalities in Eastern Visayas still lack firefighting
infrastructure and staff.

BFP. But, before they

In a press conference, Chief Supt. Adel Bautista, director of BFP 8 (Eastern

Visayas), stated that the programming of fire station building construction and
equipment acquisition each local government unit (LGU) is dependent on the
national headquarters.

The province of Samar has the most areas without fire stations and fire trucks.
Almagro, Daram, Sto Nio, Tagapul-an, Talalora, and Zumarraga are among
them.

The towns of Biri, Lapinig, Rosario, San Vicente, and Victoria in Northern
Samar, and Lorente, Maydolong, and Mercedes in Eastern Samar, do not have
firefighting facilities.

Only the town of Pintuyan in Southern Leyte lacks a fire station, while only the
island town of Maripipi in Biliran province lacks one.

Statement of the Problem

This study aims to determine the problems encountered by the bureau of Fire
Protection firefighters in the province of Pagbilao specifically, it sought to answer
the following questions?
1. what are the problems encountered by the Bureau of Fire Protection
firefighters in the province?
What is the degree of seriousness on the problems encountered by the
Bureau of Fire Protection
 1. firefighters in term of Human Resources factors?

Research methodology

The range of architectural options and technologies used in today's sustainable

architecture. Due to the difficulty of the task, conducting an in-depth analysis of the
technological innovations utilized in these structures calls for a special technique.
Thus, the following components of a research methodology were created:

 Gathering information on the most recent technologies utilized in

resilient structures today and compiling images and
documentation;
 • An analysis of the collected data based on the literature, addressing
the

problem of advanced technology used in finished constructions

generally.

 • Using technology that was significantly more advanced than that

employed in earlier projects, conducting architectural studies of
selected Bureau Fire of protection training facility and Regional Office
buildings in line with the building code.
Review of Related Literature

The Bureau of Fire Protection was established by R.A. This office is 6975. under the
Department of Interior and Local Government. It follows the principles of promoting
fire safety, prevention, suppression, and fire investigation, ensuring the provision of
emergency, medical, and rescue services, and improving active participation Public
participation is encouraged.
According to the BFP fires 2001 manual, the BFP shall establish efficient and
Firefighters who are responsive. Without the finest honesty, expertise, loyalty, and
responsibility Honesty, respect for human rights, and care for the safety of people
and propertyThe environment and national heritage are both important. Fires are
always caused by something. The most common cause of a fire is negligence,
abandoned cigarette, improper disposal of flammable materials managed or faulty
heating facilities, spontaneous combustion caused by storage
articles in poorly ventilated areas, explosions caused by petroleum chemicals, and
sunrays focusing on glasses that can function as a convex lens and lightings spark,
overheating, and electrical defects. (Fire Investigation and Arson Technique)

Site Selection
Site Criteria
Listed below are the general and specific site characteristics that aided the
researcher in selecting the most suitable location for the proposed project. Choosing

physically, refers to the public transportation and refers to the closeness to users.
2. Availability – This term deals with presence of important utilities such as water
supply, power, and community lines, telephones, and drainage.
3. Flexibility – It is described with sufficient space and can adapt changes for
future expansion.
4. Environment – It is the key aspect in rehabilitating the people.
5. Geographical Location – It is the point of view in the area.
6. Topography – land character of the site.
