 ABSTRACT

• Tuesday April 02, 2024. The accounting students of the Masters Technological

Institute of Mindanao Coop took part in and completed their third activity

related to the National Service Training Program (NSTP 2). Furthermore, the

Bureau of Fire Protection Region 10 Education Department has already

carried out Fire Drill Trainings & Orientations in a number of public and

private locations, including businesses, establishments, buildings, workplaces,

schools, and other communities and barangays in Iligan City. Consequently,

they have also thought about offering or carrying out Fire Drill Trainings &

Orientations at MTIM for accounting students enrolled in NSTP 2. BFP R-10

gave the MTIM NSTP 2 students information about the number of fire stations

in the vicinity of Iligan City as well as their locations. The Bureau of Fire

Protection (BFP) in the Philippines, including BFP - Region 10, plays a vital

role in ensuring fire safety and protection in the country. The main objectives

of BFP - Region 10 include fire prevention and suppression, fire safety training

and education, fire investigation and enforcement, collaboration and

coordination, and capacity building and professional development. By actively

pursuing these objectives, BFP - Region 10 contributes to creating a safer

environment for the community. The significance and importance of Fire Drill

Training and Orientation cannot be overstated. It is a vital aspect of safety

preparedness, both in the community and in schools. By equipping individuals

and students with knowledge and skills about fire safety, we can create a safer

and more prepared society. Therefore, it is imperative that Fire Drill Training

and Orientation be given the attention and importance it deserves.

Fire Drill Training and Orientation

 One of the integral components of this emergency education training program

is “Fire Training and Orientation”, which plays a crucial role in preparing

individuals and students for potential fire-related emergencies. The component of

Fire Training and Orientation is a testament to the society and community,

equipping students with the knowledge and skills necessary to handle fire

emergencies.

Fire Drill Training and Orientation is a crucial aspect of safety preparedness,

both in the community and in educational institutions. It involves teaching

individuals about the protocols to follow during a fire emergency, including

evacuation procedures, the use of firefighting equipment, and basic first aid.

Additionally, this training is vital in ensuring the safety and well-being of

individuals and minimizing damage during fire emergencies.

Furthermore, Fire Drill Training and Orientation is a systematic and organized

procedure carried out by fire safety officials. It involves educating individuals

about fire safety rules, the importance of fire alarms, the use of fire

extinguishers, and the correct evacuation procedures.

It also includes practical drills where individuals can practice these procedures,

ensuring they are well-prepared in case of a real fire emergency.

The significance and value of fire drill training and orientation cannot be

emphasized. It is an essential component of safety preparedness in the

community and at schools. We can make our society safer and more equipped

by providing individuals and students with fire safety knowledge and skills. As

a result, it is critical that Fire Drill Training and Orientation receive the attention

and seriousness that it deserves.

The Importance of Fire Drill Training & Orientation: As an Individual in the

 Society and to your Community and Neighborhood

Fire Training and Orientation is not only beneficial as an individual but also for

the wider society.

Fires are unpredictable and can cause massive devastation if not controlled

promptly and effectively.

By training the individuals in fire safety, the NSTP is indirectly improving the

safety of the entire community.

These trained individuals can apply their knowledge in real-life situations,

helping to prevent fires or minimize their impact.

In the community and society, Fire Drill Training and Orientation plays a vital

role in safeguarding lives and properties. Fires can occur unexpectedly and can

lead to devastating loss if not managed promptly and effectively.

Through the provision of fire safety education, communities can effectively

mitigate the likelihood of fire-related events. Additionally, those who have

received this training can contribute to the promotion of fire safety in their

communities, making society safer and better equipped.

Bureau of Fire Protection – Region X

 The Bureau of Fire Protection or BFP is an agency under the Department

of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) in the Philippines. Its primary

objective is to prevent and suppress destructive fires, enforce fire safety standards, and

promote fire safety awareness among the public. The BFP is composed of different

regions, with each region having its own set of objectives and responsibilities.

Objectives of Bureau of Fire Protection

BFP - Region 10, also known as the Northern Mindanao Region, has specific

objectives that align with the overall goals of the BFP. The main objectives of BFP -

Region 10 include:

1. Fire Prevention and Suppression

The primary objective of BFP - Region 10 is to prevent and suppress

fires within its jurisdiction. This includes conducting regular inspections of

buildings and establishments to ensure compliance with fire safety standards.

The BFP also educates the public about fire prevention measures and responds

promptly to fire incidents to minimize damage and save lives.

2. Fire Investigation and Enforcement

Another important objective of BFP - Region 10 is to conduct thorough

investigations of fire incidents. The BFP works closely with law enforcement

agencies to determine the cause and origin of fires. This helps in identifying

potential fire hazards and enforcing fire safety regulations. By holding

accountable those responsible for fire incidents caused by negligence or illegal

activities, BFP - Region 10 aims to prevent future fire disasters.

3. Collaboration and Coordination

BFP - Region 10 actively collaborates with other government agencies,

local government units, and non-governmental organizations to enhance fire

 safety efforts. This includes sharing information, resources, and expertise to

develop comprehensive fire safety programs. By fostering collaboration and

coordination, BFP - Region 10 can effectively address fire safety challenges and

ensure a safer environment for the community.

4. Capacity Building and Professional Development

BFP - Region 10 places a strong emphasis on capacity building and professional

development. Firefighters and personnel undergo regular training programs to enhance

their firefighting skills, knowledge of fire safety regulations, and emergency response

capabilities. This ensures that BFP - Region 10 is equipped with competent and skilled

personnel to handle fire incidents efficiently.

Masters Technological Institute of Mindanao is one of Iligan's highest-

performing private schools. They have previously produced numerous successful

Certified Public Accountants, and they offer the Bachelor of Accountancy course and

degree to Accounting students who wish to become Certified Public Accountants. They

provide a fundamental and vital sort of education to generate proficient accounting

students who are able to think critically, analytically, and advanced in order to make

better decisions in the future.

One of the different fields that MTIM offers to their accounting students is an

area of study or course of study in the NATIONAL SERVICE TRAINING

PROGRAM, which is required and acknowledged by the Commission of Higher

Education (CHED)

Figure 4. The Logo of Masters Technological Institute of Mindanao Coop.

 The objective is to demonstrate to accounting students the skills they need to

think critically and advance in both their major subjects and real-world

situations that they would come across in an emergency.

Another goal is to prepare accounting students to be more capable and engaged

members of society at all times. This will foster teamwork and, in the end, unity,

and make them responsible members of both the community and the classroom.

The Importance of Fire Drill Training & Orientation: As a student in your

Institution or School

Schools are places of learning, and they are also spaces where a significant

number of people gather daily. Therefore, having a comprehensive fire safety

plan is crucial.

Through the NSTP, students are equipped with fire safety knowledge, enabling

them to act responsibly and efficiently during fire emergencies in schools. This

training can significantly reduce the risk of injuries, loss of life, and property

damage.

Additionally, Schools are not just places for academic learning; they are also

spaces where students learn important life skills, such as fire safety.

Fire Drill Training and Orientation is an integral part of school safety programs.

Through this training, students are taught how to respond calmly and efficiently

during fire emergencies, which can significantly reduce panic, injuries, and

damage.

Schools also conduct regular fire drills to ensure that students, teachers, and

staff are familiar with evacuation routes and procedures.

Furthermore, Fire Drill Training and Orientation in schools provides an

excellent opportunity for students to learn about the science behind fire.

What is Fire Extinguisher?

It is an emergency first aid fire fighting appliance designed for easy operation in

the event of incipient fires.

Figure 23. An Image of a Fire Extinguisher.

 A fire extinguisher is a portable device designed to control or extinguish small

fires, providing a vital tool for fire safety in the community.

A fire extinguisher is an active fire protection device that releases a substance

to extinguish or control small fires.

It consists of a cylindrical pressure vessel containing an extinguishing agent, a

nozzle to direct the agent, and a handle to activate the device.

Fire extinguishers come in various types, each designed to combat specific

classes of fires, such as those involving ordinary combustibles, flammable

liquids, electrical equipment, or cooking oils.

Importance of Fire Extinguisher

Fire Safety Preparedness

✓ Fire extinguishers play a vital role in ensuring fire safety preparedness in the

community. By having fire extinguishers readily available in homes,

workplaces, schools, and public spaces, individuals can quickly respond to

small fires before they escalate into uncontrollable infernos.

✓ This preparedness empowers people to take immediate action, potentially

saving lives and minimizing property damage.

Early Fire Suppression

✓ In fire emergencies, the ability to suppress a fire in its early stages is crucial.

Fire extinguishers provide the means to combat small fires before they spread

and intensify.

✓ By acting swiftly with a fire extinguisher, individuals can prevent fires from

engulfing larger areas and gaining momentum, thus reducing the risk of injury,

property damage, and even loss of life.

Protection of Valuable Assets

✓ Fire extinguishers are essential for protecting valuable assets in the

community. Whether it is a residential property, a commercial establishment,

or a public facility, fire extinguishers act as a first line of defense against fire-

related damages.

✓ By promptly extinguishing fires, these devices help preserve buildings,

equipment, documents, and other valuable possessions, thereby mitigating

financial losses.

Enhancing Fire Safety Education

✓ The presence of fire extinguishers in the community also serves as a visual

reminder of the importance of fire safety. When people see fire extinguishers

in public spaces or receive training on their usage, it raises awareness about

 fire prevention and the appropriate actions to take in case of a fire emergency.

✓ This increased awareness contributes to a more fire-conscious community,

reducing the likelihood of fire incidents.

Complementing Fire Detection Systems

✓ Fire extinguishers work hand in hand with fire detection systems, such as

smoke alarms and sprinkler systems. While detection systems alert individuals

to the presence of a fire, fire extinguishers provide a means of immediate

action.

✓ Together, these fire safety measures create a comprehensive approach to fire

prevention and mitigation, ensuring a safer community.
