Challenges and Opportunities on Fire Safety Inspection of Surigao City Fire Station
THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND
In looking at our future challenges, it is useful to reflect on our fire safety
performance over time.
Last 2019, the Bureau of Fire Protection or BFP responded to 16,408 fire incidents
nationwide from January to October 2019, a 14.23 percent increase over the 14,364
recorded during the same period in 2018.
Of the total fire incidents in 2019, 7,865 were structural, 7,660 were nonstructural
and 883 were vehicular fires. The estimated amount of property damage for 2019 was
P6.36 billion, almost 60 percent higher than the P3.99 billion worth of damaged property
in 2018.
There are several issues that underlie the challenges and opportunities we face
today in the fire safety community. First and foremost, we do not now adequately
understand the fire problem itself. The Meade and Hall reports are important efforts to
develop an understanding of the fire problem as a whole. However, they also provide an
indication of the modest underpinnings for their analysis that underscores our lack of
substantive understanding of most aspects of the fire problem. We are unable to even
provide credible estimates of the component costs of fire, much less provide a credible
understanding of why these fires arise or why the level of damage from these fires results
Thus, fire safety inspection is very important in the field of firefighting and fire
prevention. The purpose of fire safety is to eliminate injuries. There are many different
forms of safety. There are also safety programs for firefighters. The main goals of the
safety program consist of preventing damage or loss of equipment, preventing human
