HIGHLIGHTS OF ACCOMPLISHMENTS

January to December CY 2021

I. On Fire Prevention Management Program
The BFP’s fire prevention efforts for CY 2021 registered 2,505,264
buildings/establishments inspected (including newly constructed buildings, business,
PEZA, government buildings and re-inspections) representing an increase of 4.37%
or 104,852 from 2,400,412 buildings/establishments inspected during the same period

Out of this number, 2,130,398 establishments were found to be compliant and

subsequently issued with Fire Safety Inspection Certificate (FSIC) for business and
occupancy. This represents a slightly increase of 0.35% to the establishment
inspected last year that complied with fire safety requirements. Also, the number of
establishment issued with notice to correct violations (NTCV) and subject for re-
inspection significantly increase to 21.53% or from 144 to 175 of the same period
under review due to the strengthened of the fire code. Even with the strict
implementation of the RA 9514, there was a decrease number of establishments
recommended issued with Closure Order from 27 to 10 the same period.

On the number of building plans reviewed, there was an important increase of

21.45% or 44,366 for that of the same period last year, with 251,244 building plans
were reviewed and issued Fire Safety Evaluation Clearance (FSEC). These notable
increases can be attributed to the BFP’s intense drive of ensuring fire safety to
buildings/ establishments even were experiencing the whole nation with pandemic
COVID-19.

The total amount of Fire Code Fees collected have increased from
Php3,075,791,389.60 to Php3,348,212,877.88 this Calendar Year 2020 to 2021

The backbone of the Directorate for Operations is Fire Suppression. It covers

the monitoring and consolidation of the occurrence of all fire incidents nationwide
which serves as the basis for the formulation and/or improvement of operational plans
for fire suppression and response operations.

Based on existing data, a total of 12,816 fire incidents transpired this year. The
height of which occurred on the 2nd quarter where there is an increase of 908 fire
incidents from the 1st quarter.

The increased fire incident in the 2nd quarter was due to the sudden rise in
occurrence of non-structural fires (grass fire, rubbish fire, forest fire, and post-fire).

From January to December 2021, 66.82% of the fire calls responded are on 1st
alarm status. As seen in figure 3, responders for 1st alarm significantly increased
during the 2nd quarter. Hence, for the entire 2021, it was on the month of May that this
alarm peaks the graph.

Accordingly, the highest alarm status raised during CY 2021 is Task Force
Bravo with only one (1) response which happened in Region 9 while Task Force Alpha
was raised eight (8) times. Comparatively, there are 1,172 or 8.95% fire calls are
already declared as Fire Out upon arrival of the responding team.

j. BAYANIHAN, BAKUNAHAN: NATIONAL VACCINATION DAYS

The Bureau of Fire Protection, in preparation for the National Vaccination

Program, formulated an IMPLAN (Implementation Plan)/ Deployment Plan that would
serve as a guide to all the BFP offices from the preparation, implementation and

for the plan of action in the deployment of BFP personnel for the 3-day National
Vaccination Program; c.) issuance of directives to all units on the BFP’s participation;
and d.) composition of national/regional taskforce structure.

The implementation phase took place from November 29, 30, and December

IV. RESPONSE TO WEATHER DISTURBANCES

More or less twenty (20) weather disturbances are expected to hit the country
yearly due to its geographical location. During this year, the country has noted several
typhoons that has posed threat to the community.

In adherence to the BFP mandates, Oplan PAGHALASA was automatically

activated and implemented with the Directorate for Operations facilitating and
monitoring the deployment of personnel in different regions to provide the necessary
assistance to the affected provinces. All operating units in the affected areas
conducted “bandillo”, pre-emptive evacuation and monitoring of water level in
riverbanks, esteros and dams. Coastal and mountainous areas were constantly
monitored for possible occurrence of flashflood and landslide.

Operating units along with other agencies conducted forced evacuation and
search and rescue operations during the onslaught of typhoons.

With constant monitoring in the implementation of OPLAN PAGHALASA, the

following assets were made available for dispatch.

IV. Logistical Accomplishments on the Improvement of Firefighting

Capability
Over the years, the Bureau never ceases to realize its vision of a modern fire
protection agency. Empowering the cities and municipalities can be achieved by
putting up fire stations. As of December 2021, all the 146 cities in the country have
fire stations and fire trucks in each station. As for the 1,418 municipalities, there are
1,272 municipalities with fire stations. Among the remaining 216 municipalities, all
have no fire trucks.
