INTRODUCTION
Background of the Study
Disaster as defined by IFRC(International Federation of
Red Cross) is a sudden, calamitous event that seriously
disrupts the functioning of a community or society and
causes human, material, and economic or environmental losses
that exceed the communitys or societys ability to cope
using its on resources! "hough often caused by nature,
disasters can have human origins! # disaster in their
natural forms includes typhoons, earth$ua%e, tsunami and
volcanic eruptions hereas there is one destructive man&made
disaster hich is ar! Fire is an example of a disaster that
can be caused by both factors stated above!
Fire is combustion or burning, in hich substances
combine chemically ith oxygenfrom the air and typically
give outbrightlight, heat, and smo%e('xford Dictionary)!
# fire disaster can be providential (natural) such as
ildfires, accidental (human error or negligence) or
intentional such as the crime of arson! #n intentional cause
of fire, legally termed as arson, is the ilful malicious
burning of property (as building) especially ith criminal

or fraudulent intent (erriam&ebster Dictionary) is a crime
stated in criminal las of most countries one of hich is
the *hilippines! +oever, fires, even in accidental causes,
displaces hundreds to thousands of families from their
homes, costs hundreds of thousands to millions orth of
damage to property and may even be a cause of several
deaths!
In connection to the disastrous effects of fire, the
ureau of Fire *rotection(F*) under the DI-. and by virtue
of Republic #ct /012, otherise %non as DI-. #ct of 3004,
is primarily to perform and be responsible for the
prevention and suppression of destructive fires on
buildings, houses or other structures, forest lands, land
transportation vehicles and e$uipment, ships and vessels
doc%ed at piers or harves anchored in ma5or seaports,
petroleum industry installations, plane crashes and other
similar activities! "he recent statistics available at the
6ational 7tatistical Coordination oard(67C) shos that
there are 38,943 total fire incidents occurred in the year
8439 nationide hich is 90!:; higher than :,10: fire

incidents and :2 fire&related in5uries happened in Region =I
in 8439, higher than 004 incidents ith /1 in5uries recorded
in 8438! hereas Capi> had only 20 cases coming in third
from the second highest province, 6egros 'ccidental ith 23:
cases and the first hich is Iloilo ith 190 cases!
#s shon by the most recent, available statistics,
ran%ing at the third in highest related fire incident, it
can be construed that the ureau of Fire *rotection in the
province of Capi> has problems dealing ith fire! *roblems
can be categori>ed into three namely? +uman@*ersonnel,
aterial@Facilities and Aconomic@Financial! In the *ersonnel
side, according to the *hilippine Figures of the 6ational
7tatistics 'ffice(67'), the ratio of fireman to population
as of 8438 is 3?2:0 from the 3/,828 total firemen
nationide! In the material side, the common problems
encountered are lac% of fire truc%s, fire hydrants
available, and more ill be included in this research as the
study progresses! Financial problems originate from the
Department of udget anagement appropriation toards the
ureau of Fire *rotection! -ac% of financial support is a
prime cause that allos the to other problems (+uman and
aterial) to manifest!

Fire&fighters, before being inducted into the ureau of
Fire *rotection, undergo a series of training in hich
concerns of not only extinguishing fire, but also the
prevention or suppression of the same! "he number of the
firemen as ell as their ratio to the population, as stated
above, is not suffice to actually prevent fire especially in
the province of Capi> in hich there are only seven fire
stations serving the hole province of 3/ municipalities a
city, to for the First Congressional District, in hich has
the city has one sub&station and five for the 7econd
Congressional District!

In this study, the researchers have advanced their null

7ystems theory as originally proposed by +ungarian
biologist -udig von ertalanffy in 308:, although it has
not been applied to organi>ations until recently (ast and
Rosen>eig, 3018 7cott, 30:3)! "he foundation of systems
theory is that all the components of an organi>ation are
interrelated, and that changing one variable might impact
many others! 'rgani>ations are vieed as open systems,
continually interacting ith their environment! "hey are in
a state of dynamic e$uilibrium as they adapt to
environmental changes!
7enge (3004) describes systems thin%ing as?
understanding ho our actions shape our reality! If I
believe that my current state as created by somebody else,
or by forces outside my control, hy should I hold a visionB
"he central premise behind holding a vision is that someho
I can shape my future, 7ystems thin%ing helps us see ho our
on actions have shaped our current reality, thereby giving
us confidence that e can create a different reality in the
future!

7ystems theory as applied to the study of this
research, is that the problems encountered by ureau of Fire
*rotection firefighters in the *rovince of Capi>! #s
identified, e identified 9 ma5or problems that the ureau
of Fire *rotection encounters namely? +uman Resources,
aterial Resources and Financial Resources! 7ystems theory
suggests that one area of difficulty may have an impact on
another area that ill result to another difficulty!
