Day 1 (March 18,2019)

Everyone is preparing for our deployment. I already know that I am assign in the Bureau of Fire

Protection, Vigan City. We are so excited for that because that’s the first time that we should

have work in the offices.

Bureau of Fire Protection, Vigan City- This the office where I was assigned to conduct my work

immersion. On my First day of immersion March 18, 2019 (Monday) I was very excited and

somewhat nervous because of the new environment and the new people surrounding me I didn’t

have any idea of what kind of people they are because It’s my first time to enter the Bureau of

Fire Protection (BFP), It made me adjust myself with their personalities and attitudes. When I

arrived in the place of BFP I was surprised to see the criminologist, Law Enforcement

Administration, and Humanities and Social Sciences because I was expected that we were the

only one STEM (Science Technology and Engineering Mathematics of University of Northern

Philippine who will going to work there. After that F02 Carlos Dela Cruz discuss the protocol

and oriented us, he introduces the personnel’s and their ranks. After that each of us presented

ourselves through songs and dance, and their motto in life. We stay there the whole day because

we are so many. We are almost 40 students of university of northern phillipne. But it was very

happy and enjoybale. We ended our day in laughters. And I learned for this day that you should

know ho to get along with people and enjoy everyting you do.
 Day 2 (March 19,2019)

This is my second day of my Work Immersion at BFP. I came early in the morning. While

waiting for the lectures I clean the office After that when I’m done cleaning FO3 Anthony

Manuel ask me to do his daily time record. After that SFO1 Mariefe R. Unciano also start her

lectures about Chemistry of fire. It is the heat, fuel oxygen and chemical chain reaction. When

one of them are not present there is no fire and that’s the thing that we should know. While we

are listening to the discussion, Law of Enforcement and administration (LEA) start to try the

laddering so we also observe them in their laddering with the help of F03 Jan Richard Abubo.

While I’m watching I felt like, it was very nervous because I saw the faces of the LEA that they

are nervous because the ladder is so high for them to climb and do the foot lock position. But in

the end, they are all happy and I saw the faces that even though it was hard, one of their members

are fell down but he’s okay and they are nervous while doing the laddering they also enjoy.

Because It was a privilege for them to try that laddering.

In the afternoon SF02 Leopoido Lindsey Ayumon Jr. start the lecture about the Fire Safety

Inspection. I learned for this day that you have to comply all the suggestions, instructions and

requirements of Bureau of Fire Protection the when you are having a business-like super market,

apartment, buildings and etc. to be safe and ready in case of emergency.

 Day 2 (March 20,2019)

This is my third day of my Work Immersion at BFP. As I always do, I came early in the

morning. The first thing we do on this day is listening to the lecture of FO3 Anthony Manuel, he

ecture us about the phases of firefighting. He mentions that Firefighting is the act of attempting

to prevent the spread of and extinguish significant unwanted fires in buildings, vehicles,

woodlands, etc. A fire fighter suppresses fires to protect lives, property and the environment.

And the ten phases of firefighting are Pre- fire planning, sizing up, rescue, cover exposure,

confinement, ventilation extinguishment, salvage, overhauling and post fire analysis. In the

afternoon F02 John Carlo A. Dela Cruz teach the LEA on first aid, bandaging and rescue carries

and we just observe them and listen to the discussion until they finish it. After that we also

observe the criminologist and LEA to form. Whole day my work is to listen and observe. This

day is quite enjoyable. And I learned for this day the phases of firefighting and basic steps in first

aid.

Day 4 (March 21,2019)

This is my fourth day for my work immersion at BFP. As I always do, I came early in the

morning. The first thing we do on this day is listening and observing on the lectures of SFO1

Erwin Quilala. He did not include us in his discussion because we are too young for that topic,
there is a deeper part of the lectures that its hard for us to understand because we are STEM

Student unlike criminologist that they have a knowledge on investigation because our topic for

this lecture is Fire Arson Investigation. We just observe them on what they are going to in

investigating a crime. In the afternoon we observe again the LEA in Rescue Ropes and Knots

together with the criminologist and HUMSS students. FO3 Jan Richard P. Abubo are the one

who facilitate and discuss the Rescue Ropes and Knots. After they discussion there is a

competition between the two groups of LEA in order to see if they understand Rescue Ropes and

Knots. This day is full of lectures and observing criminologist and LEA but it is enjoyable.

Because when you are observing and listening there is a knowledge you get about someone.

Day 5 (March 22,2019)

This is my fifth day for my work immersion at BFP. As I always do, I came early in the morning.

We are very happy and excited because SFO1 Leopoldo Lindsey F. Ayunon Jr. the chief of Fire

Safety Inspection invited us, the STEM Students only to join the inspection in the Brgy 1

Amianance, Vigan City. We are very excited to ride in the firetruck because it was our first-time

ride on the firetruck. Not just like that but we also enjoy in the inspection we measure the

distance of the houses in order to know and to be ready in case of the emergency. In the

afternoon we are also invited to join the Fire drill in the Municipality of Vigan City. It was very

fun because to part on this program is such a privilege of us in order to know what to do in case

of emergency. After attending the the Fire Drill of the Municipality of Vigan, we also attend in

the fire drill of LEA in tamag grounds. It is their last in BFP so that their the frist who will going

to fire drill unlike of us we have more day to stay in BFP. While I am watching them I felt the

difficulty on what they are doing in the middle of the afternoon. It is very hot but still they can
manage to exercise in the middle of the sun. After their exercise they group them into two groups

and start the fire drill. They tired too much but, in the end, I saw their faces that there are smiling

because they enjoyed too much because they take a shower using the firetruck. This is is full of

activities but it is fun and enjoyable. I learned in this day is to be always ready and alert in case

of emergency.

butterfly roll, single donut roll, twin donut roll and etc. The proper hose rolling describe a on

how to prevent water hammer. In the afternoon Sir Jan teach us on how to do the laddering and

the LEA last week they felt so nervous. But when you are thinking that your going to fail you

cannot do it but when you’re thinking that you can, you can do it. And I did it all you have to do

is to follow the steps and instructions of you instructor and I swear it will be going to be enjoy

when your going to climb and do the put lock position. This is is full of challenges but it was fun
