MESSAGE
It has been said, time and again, that "an ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure." It is this adage that guides the Department of the Interior and Local Government, through the Bureau of Fire Protection, as it seeks to ensure your daily safety, particularly from fire incidents. Hence, we partnered with the Department of Education to bring you this Junior Fire Marshal instructional material. Through the instructional material, you will find useful tips and information on how to prevent the occurrence of fire and what you should do in case of fire incidents. Knowledge, I am sure you agree, is power especially in the area of fire protection. We have seen how fire threatens, consumes and destroys. Now more than ever, we must make sure that all our communities, especially the most vulnerable, are not only aware but prepared. Your DILG relentlessly works towards providing our communities with basic services and programs that would ensure public safety, including education and information materials, such as this one. It is my hope that you will learn much from these materials and impart what you learn to everyone around you, especially the members of your family, relatives and friends. Let your learnings serve as building blocks as we build a strong community under the rule of law.

MESSAGE
The Department of Education has always given much importance to fire prevention and safety tips. We highlight this through our partnership with the Junior Fire Marshal project of the Department of Interior and Local Government. This will certainly help develop the school children as role models for both their peers and family in public safety. When grade school pupils and high school students are oriented, trained and organized in public safety, they become our kiddie and junior fire marshals who will promote fire prevention programs within their schools, in their homes and within the community. I take pride in the effort of our writers and the enthusiasm of our friends at DILG-BFP to have come up with a validated instructional material intended to enhance our curriculum in fire safety practices. May this endeavour with the DILG-BFP bear fruitful results and that this instructional material serves as a tool in constituting public safety awareness in every Filipino child.

MESSAGE
The Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) through the Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) has been preoccupied with devising effective ways to instil a culture of consciousness and preparedness in our society, especially with regard to fire safety. And Rizal once again proved himself right when he said: "Ang kabataan ang pag-asa ng ating bayan." Working hand in hand with the Department of Education (Dep Ed) has shed light on how the youth can specifically contribute in creating a well-informed and responsible community that can rely on itself in meeting the dangers of fire even with the services of our firefighters being available. Hence, the launching of Junior/ Kiddie Fire Marshal Project and this information kit. With this instructional material, I hope you could help us make other people sensitive to their role in preventing destructive fires and impart the ability to cope in the event of such disasters.

MESSAGE
Fire safety is everyone's concern and responsibility. Thus, aside from continuing to enhance the basic services that we bring to you, we feel it just as important to come up with programs and projects that will make room for your active involvement. And Junior/Kiddie Fire Marshal is just among the breakthrough projects that we launched this year as a product of collaboration with the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) and the Department of Education (Dep Ed), which, as the title itself suggests, taps the youth sector as the seed of fire safety consciousness in our society. We have come up with this information kit to guide you on how to deal with fire situations, and, more importantly, how to make fire safety measures part of your daily routines. We, your partners in the government, are consistently working not only hard but also smartly to "help" build a secured and orderly community because we have always believed you deserve it and you are more than willing to work just as dedicatedly to enjoy such a community.

How Fire Safe Is YOUR Home?

Make fire safety a family business by involving the entire family in a fire safety inspection. Here is a comprehensive checklist to use as a guide. Fire Hazards: Check for fire hazards in your home. Correct any problems NOW.

Kitchen Matches stored out of the reach of children No overloaded outlets for extension cords. No curtains or towel racks close to the stove. Flammable liquids (cleaning fluids, contact adhesives, etc.) or aerosols stored away from the stove or other heat source. (Remember, even a pilot light can set vapors on fire.) No attractive or frequently used items kept above the stove where someone could get burned reaching for them (especially small children looking for cookies or other goodies). Wear close-fitting sleeves while coking. (No loose sleeves, shirts, blouses or skirts that may catch fire) Never leave cooking unattended. Never play with matches or lighters. Never use a gasoline to start a fire in the grill or add lighter fluid to an already-started fire. No smoking while fueling a vehicle or a boat or a gas powered tool like a lawn mower. No smoking in bed, or in a chair or on the sofa when tired, drinking or taking medication. Never spray aerosols while smoking or near a space heater, range or other ignition source.

Ryan // fsto_nhqbfp@yahoo.com

No worn or frayed appliance or extension cords. Living Room, Family Room, Den, Bedrooms Matches and lighters stored out of reach of children. Use only large ashtrays. (Small ashtrays are too dangerous.) Empty ashtrays frequently (when all sings of heat and burning are gone). Fireplace kept screened and cleaned regularly. Replace worn or strayed extension cords or other electrical cords. No extension cords run under rugs or carpets or looped over nails or other sharp objects that could cause them to fray. Sufficient air space around TV, stereo and other electronic equipment to avoid overheating. Heating equipment kept three feet away from curtains, furniture and papers. No overloaded outlets or extension cords. Basement, Garage, Storage Areas No newspaper or other rubbish stored near furnace, water heater or other heat source. No oily, greasy rags stored, except when kept in labeled and scaled nonglass containers (preferably metal). No gasoline stored in the house or basement (it should be stored away from the house in an outbuilding and only in safe cans that have flame arresters and pressure-relief valves). No flammable liquids stored near workbench or pilot light or in anything other than labeled, sealed metal containers. (This includes varnish, paint remover, paint thinner, contact adhesives, cleaning fluids.) No overloaded outlets or extension cords All fuses of the correct size.

Name:______________________________________________________ Grade:_______ Hazards In The Workplace Background Information The Occupational Health and Safety Act and other federal and state laws provide many safeguards that protect workers on the job. However, workers will face many fire hazards: H Arson is the No. 1 cause of fires in many types of businesses. H As in homes, carelessness and ignorance about fire hazards are also problems in the workplace. The fire hazards may be different than fire hazards in the home. H Industrial equipment, such as manufacturing and commercial kitchen equipment, present unique fire and burn hazards. H Many businesses and industries rely on electrical and electronic equipment. This increases the risk of electrical shock and the possibility of electrical or appliance fires and burns. H The large amount of combustible materials, especially in stores and offices, increases the fire hazard for workers. Selected Safety Guidelines

Many people use their cars while working or drive cars or trucks for a living. Follow this checklist to keep your auto fire safe.

Remember that gasoline is an explosive! Thats what makes it a good motor fuel when used safely. Gasoline produces a flammable vapor at low temperatures, and the vapors can burst into flame very easily. Treat gasoline with respect: I Never use a match or carry a lit cigarette near gasoline, especially at service station. I Carry gasoline only in approved metal containers with a pressurerelief, self-sealing cap. Never put gasoline in plastic or glass containers. Never carry gasoline or an empty gasoline can in your car. Immediately clean or remove any item on which gasoline spills.

I I

Ryan // fsto_nhqbfp@yahoo.com

Keep the car or truck in good repair. Follow the manufacturers recommended schedule for maintenance, such as oil changes, radiator fluid changes or tuneups. Keep a fire extinguisher in the car or truck, and know how to use it. Keep a fire extinguisher near the drivers seat. Remember that oil and other auto fluids are also combustible. Discard used products safely at an approved disposal site or recycler. Never pour these liquids on the ground or in the trashcan. Not only does that create a fire hazard, it also harms the environment. Be aware that any mechanical part of an auto or truck can burn you. Any part of the engine, accessories or exhaust system can cause a second-degree or worse burn even from slight contact. Many office employees work in high-rise buildings. Many people live in multi-story apartment buildings, and many of us have stayed in large hotels. All these people face special hazards. There are many more people; it takes longer to escape; and there are more combustible materials, such as carpet, furniture and supplies. Here are some other guides for people who live and work in high-rise buildings: Know where fire-exit stairways are located. Memorize at least two ways to each stairway. NEVER use the elevator in a fire emergency. Know what the fire alarm sounds like, and respond as if there were a real fire every time you hear it. Never think its just a false alarm. Have fire emergency exit drills. Tell the building owners to: I I I I I I I check the alarm system regularly, keep fire exit stairways clear, have the building inspected, keep all electrical equipment and writing working properly, have fire exit drills, maintain the fire suppression sprinkler system, and mark all exits and dangerous areas, such as electrical rooms and chemical storage.

Ryan // fsto_nhqbfp@yahoo.com

Be a safe worker by: I I disposing all of cigarettes and matches properly (always check ashtrays and waste cans for smoldering materials), not plugging too many appliance into electrical outlets.

If you have disability, make arrangements with co-workers and the building owner for help in emergencies. You should have a partner who can help you in an emergency.

Employees and customers encounter fire hazards in stores and offices. How can they be more fire safe?

Avoid actions that might cause fires in electrical wires or trash. I I I Dont overload electrical circuits. Keep electrical equipment in good repair. Use precautions to prevent trash fires.

Be aware that automobile-related businesses usually contain fire hazards, especially gasoline or other flammable liquids. These businesses include body paint shops, repair shops, auto dealerships, service stations, car washes and accessory shops. NO SMOKING, and observe other safety measures. Recognize that supermarkets, department stores, variety stores fact, any store have large quantities of combustible material. Dont smoke in stores, and be cautious with flammable materials.

Arson is the most frequent cause of commercial fires. Because fire damage affects the entire business, all employees should be concerned with preventing arson.

Ryan // fsto_nhqbfp@yahoo.com

These tips could help your business: Reduce opportunities for deliberately set fires. Be sure that: I All exterior areas are well lit and all entrances are secure. I I I Smoke or fire detectors and sprinklers are installed to quickly detect and control fires that might occur. Flammable and hazardous materials are stored properly, in locked cabinets if necessary. many fires are set to cover up other crimes, such as burglary, reducing the opportunity for those crimes reduces your risk of arson too.

Identify possible fire setters. Be aware of unhappy employees or competitors. Dont use fire insurance to solve financial problems. Some business owners set their businesses on fire to collect insurance money.

Many people are employed in garages and workshops. Here are some guidelines for their safety: Store flammable liquids in approved metal containers. Look for the label of a testing laboratory. Know what products in the garage are flammable. USE ONLY FOR THEIR INTENDED PURPOSE. Read and follow all labels! Never use gasoline as a cleaning fluid or fire starter. Never use or store flammable liquids inside the garage or in any closed-in area. Dispose of used flammable liquids properly. Dont save used oil, cleaner fluids, etc., and never pour on the ground. Discard only in approved disposal locations. Use caution with any materials that are soiled by flammable liquids. Keep oily rags and clothes away from any heat source, especially cigarettes and hot engine parts. Because oily rags can catch fire without any other heat, store them in metal containers with tight-fitting lids. Better yet, clean or discard all oily rags. Wear long sleeves and pants when near a hot engine or exhaust parts. T his will reduce possible exposure. The slightest touch can result in a serious burn. Use all power tools properly. Keep away from water to avoid electrical shock.

Ryan // fsto_nhqbfp@yahoo.com

Operate gas-powered lawn mowers and other tools properly. Never refuel a hot engine! Wait until the engine cools before adding gasoline. Keep the garage clean and organized. This reduces the opportunity for combustible items, such as paper, rags and trash, from contacting heat sources. And keep a fire extinguisher, preferably Class ABC or ABCD, readily available.

The equipment and materials in many businesses present many hazards. Here are some guidelines for industrial and commercial workers.
Watch electrical equipment, power lines and wiring carefully. Problems with electrical wiring or equipment are a leading cause of commercial fires. Watch for damaged wiring. Dont overload circuits. Maintain all equipment properly. Follow manufacturers guidelines to operate, maintain and repair equipment. This will reduce the risk of fire from breakdowns. Be very careful with heat sources, such as welding and cutting torches, hot equipment and discarded cigarettes and matches. Always be aware of nearby combustible materials, and clear the area before you handle the potential heat source. Follow employer guidelines. Be careful with all flammable liquids, especially gasoline, paint and solvents. Store them in proper containers. Use airtight metal cabinets, and lock the cabinets if necessary. Be sure all fueling equipment, such as gasoline pumps, is in good condition.

Once the inspection is completed, those items which have attracted a No response, will normally require remedial attention. Deficiencies identified in this way should be notified to the appropriate office, e.g. Local Fire Station, School Administrator or Principal, for appropriate action. Copies of the inspection form and requests for request for remedial action should be retained on file.
