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

and Local Government (DILG) responsible for implementing national policies

related to Firefighting and fire prevention as well as implementation of the
Philippine Fire Code (PD 1185), BFP is in charge of the administration and
management of municipal and city fire and emergency services all over the
country. The BFP also conducts programs regarding the prevention of fire to
lessen the rate of fire in our country. Fire safety and prevention is everyone's
responsibility and therefore we all must know how to go about doing these
things. It is important to have a basic understanding about how a fire occurs
and behaves within a building. The personnel of Bureau of Fire Protection are
on duty 24/7. Fire is one of the calamities that you can’t simply predict, it may
happen at any time of the day or even late at night and that is why we have
the BFP. But before they take any course of action, there are a lot of
preparations that must be first addressed and that is to prepare the equipment
needed to fight fire.

The BFP needs to be more on proactive rather than reactive that’s why they
implement more seminars and fire drills on every schools in their locality for
the preparedness of the community in that kind of disaster, moreover the BFP
Iriga Conducts a Firefighting Rescue Olympic, to inform, educate, practice,
and train each and every woman selected not just the men, because women
also needs to learn the techniques on fire fighting. The BFP is strengthening
its anti-fire campaign and is informing the public that they can provide free
services of fire inspections to check the schools, buildings, and households
