22. MODULE 1
(MODIFIED VERSION)

25. 1975 August President Ferdinand Marcos enacted Presidential Decree 765 in which created the
Integrated National Police (INP) by integrating all city and municipal police and fire
departments and jails.
1991 January 1 The BFP was created and situated under the umbrella of the Department of Interior and
Local Government (DILG) by virtue of Rule 111, Section 49 of Republic Act 6975, also
known as the “Department of Interior and Local Government Act.
2004 June Congress enacted Republic Act 9263, or the “BFP Professionalization Act of 2004,”
which aimed to boost the qualification standards of appointment at the BFP.
2008 December the Revised Fire Code of the Philippines or Republic Act 9514 was signed into law,
establishing a comprehensive and updated Fire Code for the country
2019 Revised Implementing Rules and Regulations (RIRR) of RA 9514 “The Fire Code of the
Philippines”

27. From 1991 and beyond…
the BFP continues to aim to follow its mandate
and pursue measures to boost its capacity to
do so….

28. BUREAU OF FIRE PROTECTION

29. Organization and Relationship of
Fire Brigade/Fire Volunteer to BFP
• RULE 6. FIRE BRIGADES, FIRE VOLUNTEER
ORGANIZATIONS AND FIRE SAFETY PRACTITIONERS
• DIVISION 1. SCOPE
• This Rule shall govern the organization, equipage, operation, and
proficiency training of company and community fire brigades as well
as continuous training and competency evaluation of fire volunteers
and fire volunteer organizations in the country who shall undergo
mandatory fire suppression, inspection, rescue, emergency medical
services and other related emergency response training programs
and competency evaluations to be conducted by the BFP.

30. SCOPE OF TRAINING
“All members of the fire brigade shall undergo training
on fire suppression, rescue, emergency, medical services
and related emergency response. They shall be
instructed on the handling of available fire rescue
apparatus, equipment, devices and tools. The training
program shall be adapted to suit the purpose of the
particular brigade. It shall include fire suppression
strategies, tactics, techniques and the use of portable fire
extinguishers and other equipment, devices and tools.”

32. A firefighter’s job can become very demanding. BFP
Mariveles is undergoing modernization and at present
lacks manpower to suitably address fire suppression
needs of our dearest municipality (Bayan ng Mariveles),
in line with this would definitely need the help of fire
brigades. As would be members of a fire brigade, what
you have learned in this module should give you the
understanding and motivation to perform your duties
and responsibilities when the need arises.

33. MODULE 2
(MODIFIED VERSION)

35. Fire is..
• Helpful and destructive to mankind;
• More than a necessary evil;
• Once controlled, it provides warmth and food;
• If uncontrolled, it produces death and destruction of properties.
*Because of the power of fire, it’s unintentional origin and behavior are difficult to predict
and determine

37. Characteristics of a fire
• FAST
A fire will double every 30 Seconds under normal conditions.
In as little as 3 minutes, a small fire can erupt into a “FLASHOVER”.
• DARK
A small fire can produce enough smoke to fill a building in minutes.
Smoke results in:
 Teary eyes
 Choking sensation
 Impaired judgment due to Carbon Monoxide (CO)
 Loss of spatial recognition
 Sedation effect - Respiratory failure

38. • HOT
Within minutes, air temperature in a burning room can reach
300 degrees Celsius. This temperature is hot enough to melt
clothes, skin and scorch your lungs in one breathe.
Temperatures can climb to between 650-760 degrees
Celsius.
• DEADLY
Most people who die in fires, die from BREATHING SMOKE AND
TOXIC GASES.
Carbon Oxide, Hydrogen Cyanide, Ammonia and hundreds of
other irritants attack your eyes, nose, throat and lungs.
They numb your senses and leave you dazed.

40. Approximately 16% Required
Normal air contains 21% O2. Some
fuel materials contain sufficient
oxygen within their makeup to support
burning.
To Reach Ignition Temperature
Open Flames - The Sun
Hot Surfaces
Sparks and Arcs
Friction - Chemical Action
Electrical Energy
Compression of Gases
GAS
Natural Gas Propane
Butane Hydrogen
Acetylene
Carbon Monoxide
LIQUID
Gasoline Kerosene
Turpentine Alcohol
Liver Oil Paint

42. FIRE
THEORY

43. Fire is extinguished by limiting or interrupting one
or more of the essential elements in the combustion
process (fire tetrahedron).
TEMPERATURE
FUEL
UNINHIBITED CHAIN REACTION
OF COMBUSTION PROCESS
OXYGEN

48. How does a fire
spreads?

49. Radiation
Radiation is the transmission of heat energy
through electromagnetic wave.

50. Convection
Convection is the transfer of heat energy by the
movement of heated fluids.
HEAT

51. M
E
T
A
L
Ordinary combustible materials
M
E
T
A
L
Heat Transfer by CONDUCTION. It is the transmission of
heat from one body to another. It is the transfer of heat
from one molecule to another molecule

52. CLASSES OF FIRE
Wood, cloth, rubber, paper,
and some types of plastics
Gasoline, oil, paint, natural and
propane gases, and flammable
liquids, gases, and greases
Energized electrical equipment
Combustible metals, such as
sodium, magnesium, and
potassium

59. WHY SECONDS COUNT..

61. IGNITION/INCIPIENT STAGE
(PRE HEAT/PRE IGNITION STAGE)
As an ember lands within a load of flammable material, a
fuel source, such as pine needles and leaves left in rain
gutters, it is setting the stage for ignition to occur. With the
help of oxygen, the ember increases in heat and strength.
“EASIEST TO EXTINGUISH”

62. GROWTH PHASE
(FLAMING/FREE BURNING)
The combination of heat, oxygen, and fuel increase the
odds of the fire growing to the next stage. This is when the
structure becomes the next available fuel source, the fire
begins to spread beyond the initial ignition point. Flames
are visible and gaining ground.
“Hot gases rise, hit the ceiling and spread until they
reach the walls”

63. FULLY DEVELOPED/ FLASH OVER PHASE
(TRANSITION)
As more fuel becomes consumed, the fire moves into a fully
developed state. This is the most dangerous phase of a
fire, and the hottest. At the peak of combustion, once all
the material has been ignited, the fire begins its downward
spiral.

64. DECAY PHASE (Smoldering, Glowing)
With a decrease in fuel or oxygen, the fire reduces down to
embers and ash. This is a dangerous phase because any
introduction of new fuel loads or increase in oxygen
could reinvigorate the fire. This is the longest stage of a
fire; in fact, it often takes weeks to fully extinguish all
embers and firebrands from a large fire.

66. Other fire conditions and their associated
hazards and appropriate actions:
• Backdraft (smoke explosion)
• 1. Explosion or rapid burning of heated gases.
• 2. Occurs when oxygen is introduced into a smoldering fire.
• 3. Often caused by improper ventilation.
• 4. Warning signs:
• a. Pressurized smoke exiting small openings
• b. Dense gray-yellow smoke
• c. Confinement and excessive heat
• d. Little or no visible flame
• e. Smoke leaving building in “puffs” (smoke puffing out and then sucking back in)
• f. Smoke-stained windows
• g. Muffled sounds
• h. Sudden rapid inward movement of air when an opening is made.

68. TANDAAN: (BACKDRAFT SAFETY)
• Kaya, sinisikap naming iwasan ang pag-ventilate sa
pamamagitan ng mga pahalang na butas, gaya ng mga
bintana at pinto dahil maaaring magdulot ng backdraft
ang alinman. Ang tanging mabisang paraan upang ligtas
na maalis ang init ay sa pamamagitan ng pag-ventilate sa
bubong o iba pang patayong butas na magpapagaan ng
init at papayagan tayong makapasok.

69. TANDAAN: (BACKDRAFT SAFETY)
• Habang patuloy pa rin ang apoy hanggang sa makapasok
tayo sa loob na may tubig, hindi ito puputok sa paraang
sumasabog, na ginagawang mas ligtas na pumasok na
may suot na naaangkop na SCBA at iba pang gamit
habang sinisimulan natin itong palamigin gamit ang ating
hose lines.

70. TANDAAN: (BACKDRAFT SAFETY)
• Kaya, iyon ay kung paano namin kinikilala ang isang potensyal na
backdraft at kung paano namin pinipigilan ang isa na makapinsala sa
aming mga crew. Pakitandaan na kadalasan ay napupunta tayo sa
isang napaka, napakainit na kapaligiran pagkatapos nating
magpahangin at maaari pa rin itong maging isang mahirap at
mapanganib na labanan. Sinusubukan din naming manatili sa ligtas
na bahagi sa pamamagitan ng paggamit ng patayong bentilasyon
kahit na maaaring wala ang mga malinaw na palatandaan ng babala.
Ang mga kakaibang bagay ay palaging maaaring mangyari sa
negosyong ito, kaya mas mahusay na i-play ito nang ligtas hangga't
maaari.

72. REPORTS FROM CITIZENS CAN USUALLY BE
CATEGORIZED AS:
• 1. True Emergencies
• 2. Perceive Emergencies
• 3. Non-urgent reports
• 4. Request for Information

75. Memorize the call signs and locations of
other persons and radio stations to whom
you may communicate
• In radio communication
you are not called by
your name. Everybody
has their own unique
call sign...
RADIO CALL SIGN MARIVELES FIRE STATION - OFFICE
FIGHTER BASE MAIN STATION - POBLACION
FIGHTER BASE 2 SUBSTATION - CABCABEN
FOX 1
FOX 2

76. To call a station/UNIT, first listen to ensure the channel is clear for you
• Press the PTT (Push-To-Talk) button and after 2 seconds say the recipient's call sign
twice followed by "THIS IS" and your call sign. Convey your message once the receiver
replies and the communication is established. A typical radio conversation would be as
follows:
• EXAMPLE:
• You: FIGHTER BASE 2, FIGHTER BASE 2, This is FIGHTER BASE, Message Over!
• Recipient: FIGHTER BASE, This is FIGHTER BASE 2, Go Ahead, Over!
• You: (You now say your message), Acknowledge, Over! “COPY PO BA SIR?”
• Recipient: Wilco (means your message was well received and will act upon), Over!
or you may just say 10-4 OVER!
• You: This is FIGHTER BASE, Out!
• NOTE: In the beginning and the end of the transmission you
pronounce your call sign so that people know who is talking.

77. If you have an emergency message and
need to interrupt others' conversations,
• Wait and listen until you hear "Over", Press PTT and call
("BREAK, BREAK, BREAK, This is (FIGHTER BASE),
• I have emergency message for (FIGHTER BASE 2), Do
you copy, Over!")

82. MODULE 3
(MODIFIED VERSION)

84. • 1. Straight Ladder – non-adjustable in length and consist only of one section. Sometimes it
is called “wall ladder” and is used for quick access to windows and roofs of one and two-
storey buildings. (12’, 14’, 16’, 18’, and 24’).
• 2. Extension Ladder – is adjustable in length. It consists of two or more sections, which
travel in guides or brackets to permit length adjustments.
• 3. Portable Pumps – usually used during firefighting operations and equipped with fire hose.
This is used if fighting fires in forests inaccessible by vehicle or areas with narrow roads.
• 4. Nozzle–a piece of firefighting equipment used to direct oF control a stream of water. The
characteristic of the stream of water or fire stream is determined mainly by the nozzle.
• 5. Variable Nozzle – this nozzle has a mechanism for changing 3 stages, stop, straight
stream and fog.
• 6. Fog Gun – used to fight fire inside a building or underground by straight spot water
application or fine fog application.
• 7. Straight Nozzle – used to fight fire and it is possible to speed up water stream rectified in
the play pipe.
• 8. Fog Nozzle – it is possible to shoot fine water particles and change fog cones.
• 9. Revolving Nozzle – the nozzle tip revolves to speed water stream and extinguishes fire in
attic or other confined places

85. • 10. Monitor Nozzles/Deck Guns – these nozzles are used against large fires that need high
pressure master streams. Located in the center of a pumper and can shoot water upon arrival at
the scene.
• 11. Expansion Nozzles – used by mixing foam solution with water at adequate rates to discharge
foam. Depending on the characteristic of fire, low, medium, and high expansion of foams are used
properly.
• 12. Line Proportioner – usually installed in a hose line to suck in and mix foam solution to
discharge foam. It is used to receive the supply of water from a pumper without a foam-mixing
device.
• 13. Fire Hose – a type of flexible tube used by firefighters to carry water under pressure from the
source of supply to a point where it is discharged to extinguish fire.
• 14. Hose Hoist – a device over which rope or hose may be pulled to raise or lower equipment
when firefighters are operating in buildings above the ground level.
• 15. Hose Clamp – is a tool to shut off the water in hose lines when other control valves are not
applicable.
• 16. Hose Jacket – is used to seal small cuts or breaks, which may occur in fire hose, or to connect
mismatched or damaged coupling of the same size.
• 17. Hose Spanner Wrench – used to tighten or loosen hose couplings, but this versatile tool can
also be used to close utility cocks, pry and hammer

86. Personal
protective
equipment

87. REMEMBER!
• ALWAYS WEAR YOUR PPE:
• -The Better Chance We Have To DO The Job THEY
EXPECT US to Do.
• DON'T WEAR YOUR PPE:
• • The Better Chance We Have In NOT Doing The Job
Successfully And Ending Up In The Burn Unit.
• "Partial" PPE?....yep, it's hot out and whatever other excuses we have.
But we gotta take care of "us" before we take care of "them"....

90. MODULE 4
(MODIFIED VERSION)

91. TEN PHASES
OF
FIRE
OPERATION

92. 1. PRE-FIRE PLANNING
To be able to know the problem which may be encountered and what to do in case of fire start in a particular building or area.
The availability of tools, manpower and apparatus. Getting to know the data about the area. Roads, Maps familiarization should be given
importance too.

93. 2. SIZE-UP
Factors to be considered :
L = Life Hazard
E = Exposure
T = Type of Emergency
C = Combustibility
A = Accessibility
T = Type of Construction

94. Type of Occupancy:
1.Storage
2.Institutional
3.Business
4.Educational
5.Residential
6.Industrial
7.Assembly
8.Mercantile
9.Miscellaneous
10.Mixed

95. 3. RESCUE
- Removal of victims from endangered area and
bringing them to a place of safety.
Situations on rescue needed:
1. burning building
2. collapsed/demolished building
3. gaseous area
4. floods
5. electrical contact
6. vehicular contact

96. QUALITIES OF A GOOD RESCUER:
1. Tenderness
2. Sympathy
3. Firmness
4. Determination
5. Technical Skill

97. 4. COVER EXPOSURE
- to prevent the fire from extending to other
uninvolved building
5. CONFINEMENT
- to prevent the fire from extending to
uninvolved portion of the building
a. Upward extension
b. Sideward extension
c. Downward extensions

98. VENTILATION
To displace smoke,
hot and poisonous
gases from
contaminated area
and replacing them
with fresh air from
outside

100. 8. SALVAGE
- is to protect the building and contents from
unnecessary damaged due to water,
smoke and other elements.
Objective:
a.) to protect and preserve the property
b.) to reduce the damage on property

102. Salvage operation, like rescue and first aid are allied to fire
fighting.
The term salvage operation includes all operations
required to protect a property from unnecessary damaged
caused by excessive water or other extinguishing materials.
Salvage operation includes covering objects with salvage
cloth and removing water from the property so that it
doesn’t seep thru floors and cause damages to the contents
of lower floors. In this way, a building can be restored to a
reasonable condition before the firefighters leave.

103. 9. OVERHAULING
PROPERTY IDENTIFICATION:
Red - First Priority
Blue - Second Priority
Yellow/White - Third Priority
- in fire operation term, this is to prevent the fire from rekindling.
- is to complete the operation after the main body of the fire has been
extinguished. It refers to the operation which are necessary to prevent
the fire from rekindling and to place the building in the best positive
condition.

105. VALUE OF PROPER OVERHAUL:
1. helps locate hidden fire.
2. helps prevent the fire from rekindling
3. helps determine the cause of fire
4. aids in recognizing and preserving evidence of arson
5. helps prevent unnecessary damage
6. aids in placing the building in safe condition
