Fire Hazards
Fire
Fire triangle
Oxygen
Heat
Fuel
Fire triangle
Model that shows the three essential component that when present together can start a fire
and sustain it.
Fuel
Heat
Oxygen
Reacts with the flammable vapor given off by fuels and the reaction releases heat.
The magnitude of fire, whether it is going to be flammable, depends on the ratio between the
oxygen and fuel.
Fire hazards
Can happen anywhere because all the three components are present everywhere. Fire will not
cease until one or more of the components are removed.
Causes of Fire
I. Electrical wirings
II. Unattended ignition sources
III. Cigarettes
IV. Chemicals at home
V. Gasoline leaks from vehicles
Classifications of burns:
Burns
The epidermis, dermis and even underlying fat tissue are damaged
Aside from the loss of function of the skin in terms of protection, and fluid and heat retention,
many nerve cells die such that the victim may no longer feel anything.
Precautionary Measures Against Fire Incidents
1. Fire risk assessment is an important procedure against fire incidents. It is means to understand
the situation of an area and determine the different preventive measures needed to reduce the
vulnerability of an area against fire.
2. Installing a fire alarm system helps in being aware of a fire before it gets big and uncontrollable.
3. Buying a fire extinguisher and a fire blanket is also important in preventing a fire outbreak from
becoming uncontrollable. A risk assessment should be done first to determine which types of
fire extinguishers are needed for a specific area.
4. Safe cooking should be done, as some fire incidents recorded in the Philippines were caused by
Unattended cooking stoves.
5. Proper disposal of cigarette butts should be practiced. Cigarette butts can cause a fire if they are
simply thrown away without giving notice to the surroundings.
6. Appliances and other equipment should be handled with care. Regularly check the electrical
wires and components of the equipment to ensure that no faulty connections are present.
Basic response procedures during fire incidents
1. An individual should also depend on the action plan crated.
2. Action plan is done after a fire risk assessment has been done for the building.
3. Action plan should be followed to minimise the negative effects of fire during fire incidents.
Below are some ways on how to address a fire depending on the situation;
Inside
Outside
1. Political
A government’s poor will and commitment to develop better disaster risk assessment plans can
contribute to a community’s vulnerability.
2. Economic
The economic status of a community on tributes to bits capacity to resist and copes with
disasters.
3. Physical
This incudes the availability of proper housing and building materials that can sustain any form
of catastrophe.
Poor physical environment are more prone to flood, landslides, typhoons, earthquakes, and
health hazards.
4. Social
This includes the education of a community on disasters and disaster risk.
The vulnerability increases when a community lacks education or information.
The United Nations general assembly created the United Nations International Strategy
for Disaster Reduction (UNISDR) in 1999 as part of the UN secretariat.
Objectives of UNISDR;
Importance of DRRM
There is a need for an effort to reduce disaster risk by integrating policies, plans, and
programs for sustainable development supported through bilateral, regional, and
international collaboration and partnerships.
DRRM should be given utmost priority, especially in the Philippines, because of the following reason:
1. The Philippines, by virtue of its geographical location, is exposed to numerous biological and
hydro meteorological hazards. To lower the risk of disasters brought by these natural hazards, it
is important that a DRRM be in place
2. The Philippines being a developing country, may not have enough materials and support to
address the immediate needs of disaster victims and to recover from the damage of disaster. To
be prepared for the potential damage of disasters, a DRRM needs to be implemented.
3. DRRM is essential in building a more equitable and sustainable future for the communities in
high risk areas for disasters
1. Hazard Profile
2. Vulnerability of the area
3. Capacity of the community
2. Design
This is a modelled on the findings from the assessment and analysis stage. It should include the
following key components;
1. Issues identifies during the analysis
2. Identification of responsibility, priorities, and competencies of individuals and institutions
or agencies carrying out the task.
3. Identification of other programs and strategies that may complement, add, or duplicate
with other programs.
4. Potential partners, allies, and networks.
5. Sources of funding and its restrictions.
3. Results of implementations
Implementing the DRRM plan is usually in the form of a drill.
Is essential to develop, implement and maintain an effective early warning system in a hazard-
prone community.
Key components of a community preparedness plan:
a. Community profile
1. Identification of vulnerable communities
2. Manpower
Experts conducting risk assessment
Rescue team (Trained personnel or experts are designated to form a team for the ff;)
1. Search and rescue
2. Medical assistance
3. Relief distributions
4. Relational connectivity with local authorities, NGOs etc.
Physical structure
Risk assessment
Early warning system
Emergency response protocol
A. Search and rescue
B. Needs of survivors
A well planned DRRM provides survivors with these needs;
J. Clean,. Potable water
K. Ready to eat food
L. Huge, secured and safe evacuation centers
M. Visible, accessible and equipped health care providers
N. Debriefing
Survival kits and materials
General evacuation procedures
Recovery Plans
Having recovery plans will give communities option for rehabilitation of livelihood, restoration
of social and economic activities, advancement in development projects, and reconstructions
of shelters and infrastructures.
Community disaster reduction fund
It is important to develop a comprehensive DRRM plan to estimate and allocate funds for the
implementation of plan before, during and after a disaster.

Literature Review
What is literature review?
Assessment
It is an assessment of a body of a research that addresses a research question.
Process
- It is the process of reading, summarizing, analysing, evaluating a scholarly materials about a
specific topic.
Summary
- It can simply be a summary of the sources where it gives a recapitulation of the important
information of the source.
Academic-educational, scholastic
This will be your drafts. There will be three parts: introduction, body, conclusion
Broad topic
Information partly related to the paper
Information directly related to the paper
Meaning
Broad topic
- Refers to data from studies not directly related but somehow can influence the research.
- Refers to data from other authors with the same problem statement. It can either agree or
disagree with the problem stated.
Synthesis, means to put together multiple ideas from different sources to understand the role of each
part or element of the paper. It is also suggested to compare and contrast work done by the authors.
Research Paper
Research
- Is derived from the middle French “recherche”, which means “to go about seeking”, the term
itself being derived from the Old French term “recerchier” a compound word from
“re”+”cerchier”, or “sercher” meaning “search”
- It is a systematic process of gathering and analysing data to establish a plan of action. It is
simply the collection of facts, information, or details on a particular subject.
Research will help you and all people to discover and to explain facts that maybe the
reason why a modification in almost everything is happening. As Fermin (1999) stated,
“truth exposes that mans’ life is always touched by the products of research”
Characteristic of Good Research
