I. INTRODUCTION
Fire is the hot, bright flames produced by things that are burning. The control of fire by early humans was a turning point in the cultural aspect of human evolution. Fire provided a source of warmth, protection, improvement on hunting and a method for cooking food. These cultural advancements allowed for human geographic dispersal, cultural innovations, and changes to diet and behaviour.
For thousands of years, man has mastered- or at least attempted to master – the useful resources of fire. Generating light and heat, fire has many uses and might provide more benefits to people today than at any other point in history. However, when not controlled, fire can cause great destruction and injury.
Fires require oxygen and fuel to be ignited. With oxygen present in the air, faulty electrical wiring, cigarette butts, static electricity, and even concentrated sunlight can act as fuel and a destructive fire can start. Fires are made more deadly by smoke and toxic gases emitted from consumed materials. According to BFP (STATE THE TIME FRAME AND THE NUMBER OF FIRE ACCIDENTS AND DEATHS)
Bureau of Fire Protection is an agency by DILG responsible for implementing national policies related to firefighting and fire prevention, as well as the implementation of Fire Code PD1185, which was repealed and replaced by the New Fire Code of the Philippines RA9514.
