BUREAU OF FIRE PROTECTION
- Through the enactment of the RA 6975,also
known as the DILG Act of 1990, the Fire Service
was separated from the PC-INP as a separate and
distinct agency as Bureau of Fire Protection on
August 2, 1991.

- BFP is mandated to prevent and suppress


destructive fires, conduct investigation, provide
emergency medical and rescue services and
enforce the Republic Act 9514.
The Revised Fire Code of the Philippines
and its Implementing Rules and Regulations
(R.A. 9514)

• Fire Safety Inspections


• Fire Safety Seminar
• Fire Drills
• Fire Brigade for establishments
employing at least 50 persons
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, and respond to man-
made and natural disasters and
other emergencies.
WHAT IS FIRE?
Fire – The active principle of burning,
characterized by the heat and light of
combustion (RA 9514). It is a rapid
oxidation process accompanied with the
evolution of light and heat of varying
intensities
Chemistry of fire
Oxygen Sources Heat Sources
Approximately 16% Required To Reach Ignition Temperature
Normal air contains 21% O2. Open Flames - The Sun
Some fuel materials contain Hot Surfaces
sufficient oxygen within Sparks and Arcs
their makeup to support Friction - Chemical Action

Compression of Gases

Human reaction to fire
1. Mental
We may think that we are acting brilliantly when in
fact we are acting in an ineffectual manner.

2. Physical
85 degrees Celsius - Tolerance for a limited period
of time
140 degrees Celsius- Tolerance for 15 minutes
160 degrees Celsius- Tolerance for 5 minutes
195 degree Celsius- Tolerance for less than a
minute before skin is damaged
Human reaction to fire
3. Emotional
- 25% assess the danger correctly and take
prompt action
- 50% get depress, not knowing what to do
- 15%-25% perceive the situation imperfectly and
require strong urging to respond.
2. Panic and Danger
When fear of imminent danger overwhelms certain
persons, they get excited and, by the basic instinct of
self-preservation, they move.

EXTINGUISHERS
Hexafluoropropane HFC-
236fa (FE-36)
- Clean Agent
● an environmentally preferred
alternative to Halon with zero-Ozone
Depleting Potential (ODP);
● Montreal Protocol & RA 8749 (aka
The Philippine Clean Air Act)
compliant
● Recommended for A, B and C Types of
fire
DRY CHEMICAL
Today’s most widely used type
of fire extinguisher is the
multipurpose dry chemical that
is effective on Class A, B and C
fires. This agent also works by
creating a barrier between the
oxygen element and the fuel
element on Class A fires.

FORMING FOAM
(AFFF)
● This type of fire extinguisher
puts out the fire by taking
away the heat element of the
fire triangle. Foam agents
separate the oxygen element
from the other elements.
WET CHEMICAL
● This type of fire extinguisher
puts out the fire by taking
away the heat element of the
fire triangle. Foam agents
separate the oxygen element
from the other elements.
Used for Class A and B Fires.
CARBON DIOXIDE
● A snow-like liquefied gas-
type chemical, less toxic and
non-conductor of electricity.
It replaces oxygen with CO2,
cooling effect. Used for Class
B and C Fires.
