The Bureau of Fire Protection’s first major final output is fire prevention. With this,
efforts are being concentrated in prevention activities in order to reduce incidence of fire
thereby averting the damage to lives and properties.
As an initial step, inspection is being conducted prior to issuance of building
permits and other necessary business permits. This is to make sure that all structures are
compliant to the Fire Code of the Philippines.

However, even if there was an increase in the number of FSIC issued, the rate of
compliance dropped from 82.98% last year to 79.09% of the same period this year.
As of 2014 As of 2015
The table below shows the number of building plans reviewed and subsequently
issued a Fire Safety Evaluation Certificate (FSEC) and the total number of Fire Safety
Inspection Certificate (FSIC) issued.
It can be noted that there was a slight decrease of 2.34% in the number of building
plans reviewed/processed and issued FSEC from 115,503 in 2014 to 112,795 of this year.
It can be attributed to the decrease in the number of buildings being constructed.
Page 4 of 43
CY 2015 Annual Accomplishment Report
With respect to the total number of FSIC issued, there was an increase of 29.70%
from that of last year’s issuances. There were 926,171 FSIC for Business/Permit to Operate
and 94,092 for Occupancy Permit issued as of 2015.
The rationale behind the drop in the compliance rate could be attributed to the
data presented below. Inspected buildings may have been recommended for re-
inspection, stoppage of operation or issued with abatement order.

CY 2015 Annual Accomplishment Report
One of the Bureau’s major final output is fire prevention. Thus, there is a constant
effort to educate the community as to the ill effects of fire and how to avoid its
occurrence. Part of its fire safety and awareness campaign is the conduct of the Ugnayan
sa Barangay. This is to involve the participation of the community in fire prevention.
Page 6 of 43
CY 2015 Annual Accomplishment Report
interest of the people in participating to such meaningful events. The same is true with
the increase in the number of participants in the conduct of lectures/seminars and
training of fire brigade volunteers.
On the other hand, there was a decrease in the number of barangays and
establishments visited dropping by 63.34% while the number of organized fire brigades
increased by 36.42%. This is due to the bureau’s effort to reach the other barangays that
were not previously visited for the Ugnayan sa Barangay. This is to ensure that all
barangays were involved in the said activity. The number in the data presents the newly
visited barangays and new volunteer fire brigades organized from the barangays recently
visited.

Fire is treacherous. In spite of the efforts to abate the occurrence of fire, it still
happens. The table below shows the number of fire incidents suppressed nationwide.
Page 8 of 43
CY 2015 Annual Accomplishment Report
There has been a 7.81% increase in the number of fire calls responded from 15,897
in 2014 to 17,138 of this year. In particular, structural fires recorded 8,501 calls as
compared to previous year’s 6,368. Vehicular/ship and grass/forest/rubbish fires also rose
with 6.18% and 10.42% respectively. On the other hand, there was a substantial decrease
in the number of electrical post fires from 2,093 of last year down to 1,797 of the same
period this year.
The effect of fire should not be taken lightly. It damages properties and even take
lives. Several factors are contributory to the amount of the property damage. Some fire
may not reach a critical level but could result to a very substantial damage to property if
it occurred in a business or industrial area. However, a fire could reach the 3 rd alarm call
but the damage may not be sizable if people were able to salvage their properties before
the critical alarm.
Fig. 2A Estimated Amount of Property
In 2014, there was an estimated Damage (in Billion)
property damage of 3.30 billion while
this 2015, there was 3.62 billion. A
3.62
9.70% increase was recorded from
2014. This is due to fire incidents in 3.30
business and industrial areas.

Fire incidents are classified into different types; intentional, human error or
otherwise.
Fire incidents increased from 15,879 in 2014 to 17,138 of this year. It is a 6.77%
increase which is very significant. This year, out of the total number of fire incidents,
76.86% were classified as accidental fire. Around 3,638 fire incidents are currently for final
investigation while 272 cases were filed for arson. As for the arson cases, there was an
increase in the number of intentional fire from 221 to 272, however the number of arson
cases filed in court decreased from 115 to 74, based on available data from 2014 to 2015.
On the other hand, the number of undetermined cases dropped from 73 of previous year
to 55 this year, a substantial 9.98% decrease.

CY 2015 Annual Accomplishment Report
In 2014, a total of 15,897 fire incidents occurred which increased this year to
17,138. The top causes of fire incidents both in 2014 and 2015 were electrical, open flames
and lighted cigarette butt. Fire incidents triggered by electrical-related concern is
commonly faulty wirings, octopus connection and jumper connection. A big portion of the
cases were still under investigation with 3,142 in 2014 and 3,567 this year. Considerable
figure also belonged to different causes other than the specified in the table which sums
to 2,772 of the previous year to 3,650 this year. No fire incident was recorded due to bomb
explosion this year as compared to four (4) reported last year.

The Emergency Medical and Rescue Services of the Bureau of Fire Protection is a
very arm in terms of emergency calls, be it fire related or non-fire.
Page 14 of 43
CY 2015 Annual Accomplishment Report
There is a total of 5,113 emergency calls responded by the team this year, a 17.54%
increase from that of last year’s 4,350 calls. More than half of the calls in both years were
medical in nature with 2,201 and 2,578 respectively. Disaster related calls massively
increased with 207.89% and vehicular accidents with 38.83% while fire-related calls
lessened by 9.25%. The data implies that aside from its mandate in prevention and
suppression, the BFP always extend a helping hand in times of distress. Moreover, it
showcase the skills and trainings acquired by its personnel which comes very handy in
times of emergency.
The EMS also responded to special activities with 117.46% increase from 3,408
responses in the previous year to 7,411 responses this year. Consultation also rose from
22,135 to 25,490 in 2014 and 2015 correspondingly. On the other hand, a total of 141,782
patients were attended to last year as compared to 152,220 patients this year. The
substantial increase of 7.36%. BP monitoring service also lessened from 119,144 to 90,553
in 2014 to 2015.

Bureau of Fire Protection with primary task on fire prevention, fire suppression
and chemical Biological Radiological and Nuclear (CBRN) Response is a composite member
Page 18 of 43
CY 2015 Annual Accomplishment Report
of the Committee on Security, Peace & Order and Emergency Preparedness (CSPOEP). The
BFP, as lead for Fire Suppression, Prevention and CBRN, was tasked to endow support and
assistance by providing its resources to ensure Safety and Security of the delegates during
the entire APEC Economic Leaders Meeting (AELM). It also established close coordination
with the APEC Security Task Force (ASTF) through the different Joint Task Groups that
ensured effective and efficient delivery of the BFP Task Force assigned tasks and
responsibilities. The bureau’s mandate included the provision of personnel and logistics
to STG CBRNE; supervision of fire safety inspections of APEC venues; provision of Fire
Teams and other resources to ASTF; and development of a CBRNE response plan by
engaging other agencies for technical and scientific support/assistance for CBRNE
incidents. FSSUPT JOSE S EMBANG JR was tasked as the overall supervisor for AELM.
A total of one thousand four hundred nine (1,409) personnel and one hundred
eleven (111) vehicles were deployed during the AELM. The assets deployed proved to be
sufficient as all duties and responsibilities were duly performed. Only one (1) fire incident
was noted during the deployment duration which involved a minor grass fire at Seaside
Boulevard, Mall of Asia. Overall, everything worked as planned. Deployment was at one
hundred percent (100%) according to schedule. There were no injured civilians or
uniformed personnel nor damage to firetrucks during the Civil Disturbance Management
(CDM) of protesters from different sectors. The running card for APEC related responses
were properly strategized.
On the other hand, some notable challenges were faced by the team in relation to
logistics and natural instances. The varying weather condition caused distress to some
personnel but did not affect the overall efficiency of the team. Also, due to lockdown
protocol, there was a difficulty to obtain POL for fire trucks and for duty personnel to
change shifts. Nevertheless, the APEC Economic Leaders Meeting was a success in general
with regards to the effective deployment of its plan. In fact, the Bureau of Fire Protection
received a commendation from Usec. Natalio C. Ecarma III of the Office of the Deputy
Director General for Security, APEC-NOC, for its active and valuable participation during
the entire AELM.

The BFP has a total allocation of 2,302 housing units located within Luzon, Visayas
and Mindanao, however, BFP Regions 12 and CARAGA have requested for an authority to
conduct a raffle draw and award the housing units located at Guardian’s Hill Subdivision,
Barangay Tiniwasan, Butuan, Agusan Del Norte to 85 personnel who completed the pre-
qualification process in the said regions.
BFP Director Ariel A Barayuga said, this “Handog Pabahay para sa mga Bumbero”
will be another milestone for the Bureau of Fire Protection that it will definitely benefit
BFP personnel so as for them to have a dwelling to call their own home and surely will
boost their morale to perform well their mandated duties and responsibilities. Director
Barayuga also said that this project would not be possible without the assistance of the
Department of the Interior and Local Government and specifically through the effort of
Secretary Mar Roxas.

5. Fire/Arson Investigation: The procedures in this section are clustered into three
(3) groups: determination of fire origin; determination of fire cause; and
determination of responsibility and liability.
The parts of the procedures are positioned and labeled in a user-friendly way, to
wit: policy; purpose; basic concepts, principles and guideposts; scope; responsibilities;
definitions; general procedures; effectiveness criteria; references; and forms/records.
In order to determine the content and level of details in each procedure, the SIPOC
(Supplier-Input-Process-Output-Client) Technique/Matrix was employed. Deming’s (also
Shewhart’s) Model for Continuous Improvement was adopted to organize the pieces of
information in each procedure. This model is popular in standardizing and improving
business processes, industrial operations and strategy management through the PDS/CA
Cycle.

The Bureau of Fire Protection saw a new beginning, a dawn of a promising future
with the appointment of its new chief, FIRE CHIEF SUPERINTENDENT ARIEL A. BARAYUGA
on March 19, 2015. His stature as a leader was already exemplified from the start of his
career in the Fire Service in 1988 and deliberately climbed the ladder of success being
assigned and designated in different important positions in the bureau.
As the new Fire Chief, he already have a clear road map in his mind as to where
the bureau will be leading. Towards a well-defined management is the creation of an
Operational Procedures Manual, a priority project of the Fire Chief. This manual presents
guidelines for firefighters to use in dealing with various circumstances. Moreover,
heightened efforts to intensify fire safety inspection and to abate the occurrences of fire
were observed for the succeeding months that he was guiding the bureau. No stone was
left unturned just to ensure that the bureau’s mandate to prevent and suppress fire be
delivered.
Together with the Fire Chief are courageous men and women, who work together
to achieve one common goal – a safe and progressive society.
For CY 2015, the BFP recruited a total of 2,932 FO1s from regular and attrition
quota. There were also promoted 3,027 Non- Officer Ranks, 232 Inspector-
Superintendent Ranks, 19 Senior Superintendent Ranks through regular promotion.
There are 31 uniformed personnel promoted through PNPA lateral entry. During the same
Page 28 of 43
CY 2015 Annual Accomplishment Report
period, 41 non-uniformed personnel were also promoted and 37 were newly absorbed to
the bureau.
Recently, four (4) officers were promoted into Chief Superintendent, a rank
corresponding to a one-star General in the Military. The promotion contributed to the
total count of six (6) one-star Generals in the bureau, in addition to the two-star General
rank of the Fire Chief. However, there is still a shortage of four (4) Chief Superintendent
Officers as authorized by DBM.
Page 29 of 43
CY 2015 Annual Accomplishment Report
The Bureau has an actual strength of 20,980 personnel as against 19,227 personnel
authorized by the DBM. A total of 73 officers and 30 non-uniformed personnel are to be
filled up. As for the non-officer ranks, there is an excess of 2,443 Fire Officer 1, however
other ranks still have a need to be filled up. For instance, additional SFO4 (52), SFO3 (28),
SFO2 (57), SFO1 (288), FO3 (47), and FO2 (28) are needed. Overall, the total strength of
BFP has an excess of 1,753 personnel as against the authorized personnel by DBM.
In a nutshell, from 2014 up to this fiscal year, efforts were being made to fill up
the authorized positions and even exceeded. This is to ensure that the ideal firefighter to
population ratio of 1:2,000 be reached. A little over 8% is still needed to reach the model.

This CY 2015, a total of 3,595 graduates were produced by the bureau. These
graduates undergone the mandatory trainings through the Philippine Public Safety
College (PPSC) and Fire National Training Institute (FNTI). Specifically, 1,277 finished in
Fire Basic Recruit Course (FBRC), 1,547 in Fire Arson Investigation and Inspection Course

CY 2015 Annual Accomplishment Report
(FAIIC), 679 in Fire Protection Supervisory Course (FPSC), 57 in Fire Officer Candidate
Course (FOCC) and 35 in Fire Officers' Advance Course (FOAC).
On the other hand, around 112 officers, 84 non-officers and 8 non-uniformed
personnel underwent, participated and graduated from local seminar/travel. Likewise,
thirty-four (34) officers and three (3) non-officers went to foreign schooling, training or
seminar.
Foreign seminars were conducted in various countries such as Singapore,
Malaysia, Vietnam, Thailand, Korea, USA, Moscow, Belgium and Italy. Majority of these
foreign trainings were focused on forest fires, CBRNE, and handling hazardous materials.
In addition, two (2) officers have availed of scholarship grants from the International
Graduate School of Leadership (IGSL) for the degree of Master of Arts in Transformational
Leadership, and the Asian Institute of Management for the degree Master in Development
Management. Currently, around 48 Fire Officer 1 personnel are under the On-the-Job
Training in preparation for the Fire Basic Recruit Course to be conducted on the early part
of 2016.

CY 2015 Annual Accomplishment Report
Nominees for the said scholarship will be selected by the BFP which will be based
on character, vision, motivation, academic preparation and English proficiency and they
have to report to IGSL and undergo the screening process for several days.
Chosen qualified officer/s will have a full scholarship covering school fees, book
allowance, housing and stipend for the duration of the program unless, earlier terminated
due to failure on the part of the student to adhere with the school’s rules and regulations.
BFP officer/s who availed and completed the program, will have to serve the
Bureau for at least the same duration as the scholarship given, and that terminal leave
shall not be construed as service.
This partnership with the International Graduate School for Leadership will greatly
contribute to the BFP’s effort in upholding and propagating the core values that will lead
to a Godly-centered transformation of the BFP, according to Director Barayuga.

CY 2015 Annual Accomplishment Report
In the light of impending changes in the political landscape and occurrence of both
man-made and natural events resulting to widespread destruction of properties and loss
of lives, as a result of climate change, rising incidence of global terrorism and soci-
economic upheavals in our present society, the BFP needs to adapt to these changes as a
public safety agency. Thus, the creation of a new Strategic Plan is relevant. The previous
Startegic Plan was formulated in CY 2009 and subsequently implemented for the period
of five (5) years from CY 2009 to 2014.
The exercise provided the basic directions and rationale as to where the BFP
should go and provided the specifications against which the Bureau may best decide what
to do and how to do it. The process entailed creating and describing a better future in
Page 36 of 43
CY 2015 Annual Accomplishment Report
measurable terms and the selection of the best means to achieve the results desired with
eficiency and effectiveness.
As a result of the planning worshop, the Strategic Roadmap and Scorecard System
and new vision and mission statements were formulated, to wit:
VISION:
A modern fire
service fully-capable of
ensuring a fire-safe nation by 2034.
MISSION:
We commit to prevent and suppress
destructive fires; investigate its causes;
enforce Fire Code and other related laws; respond
to man-made and natural disasters and other emergencies.

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 and providing firetrucks.
Page 40 of 43
CY 2015 Annual Accomplishment Report
To date, with the 144 cities and 1,490 municipalities in the country, there are
already 143 city fire stations and 938 municipal fire stations. Only one (1) city is yet to be
installed with a fire station and a firetruck. As for the municipalities, there was an
additional 11 fire stations and 62 fire trucks from those recorded in 2014. Gradually, the
goal to put a fire station in every town and municipality is being attained.
As to the status of firetrucks nationwide, the table below shows the current
condition of the fire trucks on a national scale.
In general, there are 2,063 fire trucks owned by the Bureau of Fire Protection.
Around 1,714 of which are serviceable, 157 are unserviceable, 111 are under repair and
Page 41 of 43
CY 2015 Annual Accomplishment Report
81 are beyond economic repair. Of the 432 LGU owned vehicles, 366 are serviceable, 50
are unserviceable, 12 are under repair and 4 are beyond economic repair.
Relevant to the delivery of service of the uniformed personnel in the operations is
the provision of protective equipment that will insure their safety while they faithfully
perform their duties. Table 5.c shows the status of personnel protective equipment
nationwide; the serviceable and the shortage.
Overall, there are 16,751 personnel in the frontline. The total serviceable fire
boots, gloves, trousers, coat and helmet on the average this year can only accommodate
around half the total number of personnel in the operation. This shows that the other half
of the personnel response to fire call without protective gears, endangering their lives
during operations.
In addition to the personnel protective equipment, which is considered a basic
need, is the provision of self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA).
Page 42 of 43
CY 2015 Annual Accomplishment Report
Ideally, there should be four (4) self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) for
every fire truck. At present, there are 1,825 serviceable and under repair fire trucks, thus,
SCBAs should be made available for the personnel in the operation. However, there are
only 770 serviceable SCBAs of the current year. This implies that there is a need for
additional 7,158 SCBAs to realize the ideal 1:4 firetruck to SCBA ratio.
