FIRE SAFETY COMPLIANCE REPORT (Revised)

Project: Proposed Two-Storey Residence


Location: Block 4, Lot 14, Hampton Orchards, Bacolor, Pampanga
Owner: Roselyn G. Baterna
Date: April 2, 2025

1. General Project Overview

The proposed project is a two-storey residential house intended to be constructed at Block 4,


Lot 14, Hampton Orchards, Bacolor, Pampanga. The building design will prioritize fire safety
measures in accordance with the Fire Code of the Philippines (RA 9514) and relevant building
standards.

2. Compliance with the Fire Code of the Philippines (RA 9514)

The project will comply with the requirements outlined in the Fire Code of the Philippines,
particularly regarding the necessary fire suppression systems. Since the fire suppression system
required for this project is fire extinguishers only, the design will ensure proper placement and
maintenance of the extinguishers throughout the building.

3. Fire Safety Features of the Building

• Fire Extinguishers: The following fire extinguishers will be installed to meet the required
standards for fire safety:

o Type of Fire Extinguisher: The project will use dry chemical fire extinguishers,
which are effective for most fire types in residential buildings (Class A, B, and C
fires).

o Location of Fire Extinguishers:

▪ One fire extinguisher will be placed in the kitchen area, as it is a high-risk


location for fires.

▪ One fire extinguisher will be installed in the garage or utility area, where
electrical or flammable materials may pose a risk.

▪ One fire extinguisher will be placed near the electrical panels for easy
access in case of an electrical fire.
▪ Additional extinguishers will be strategically placed in common areas like
hallways or stairwells, ensuring that no area is more than 15 meters away
from an extinguisher.

• Fire Exit and Escape Routes:


The building will feature clearly marked fire exits on both floors, ensuring that in case of
fire, occupants can safely evacuate the building. These exits will be unobstructed and
easy to access. Additionally, proper signage for evacuation routes will be installed, and
exit doors will be wide enough to allow quick evacuation.

• Fire Doors:
Fire-rated doors will be installed in certain areas, especially between the kitchen and
living spaces, to slow the spread of fire. These doors will be designed to close
automatically if a fire is detected.

• Electrical Safety:
All electrical systems will follow the requirements of the National Electrical Code to
minimize the risk of electrical fires. Circuit breakers and properly rated electrical wiring
will be used to avoid overloading and overheating.

4. Fire Safety Training for Occupants

To enhance safety, fire safety training will be conducted for all residents. This training will cover:

• Proper use of fire extinguishers.

• How to activate the fire alarm system.

• Evacuation procedures and how to use emergency exits.

• Basic fire prevention tips, including safe cooking and electrical practices.

5. Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) Compliance

Once the building design is finalized, the plans will be submitted to the Bureau of Fire Protection
(BFP) for approval. The BFP will inspect the fire safety features, including the placement of fire
extinguishers, and issue a Fire Safety Inspection Certificate (FSIC) once the project is deemed
compliant.

6. Fire Safety Recommendations


• Regular Maintenance of Fire Extinguishers:
It is important to regularly check the fire extinguishers to ensure they are fully charged
and operational. Inspections should be performed at least once a year, or immediately
after any use.

• Clear Access to Fire Extinguishers:


Ensure that fire extinguishers are always easily accessible and that there are no
obstructions blocking their use.

• Proper Signage:
Emergency exit routes and locations of fire extinguishers should be clearly marked with
illuminated signs. This will help occupants quickly identify the nearest exit or
extinguisher in case of emergency.

7. Conclusion

The proposed two-storey residence located at Block 4, Lot 14, Hampton Orchards, Bacolor,
Pampanga, will comply with the Fire Code of the Philippines by implementing the necessary fire
safety measures. Since the fire suppression system required is fire extinguishers only, these will
be strategically placed throughout the building in compliance with regulations. In addition to
fire extinguishers, the building will be equipped with proper fire exits, fire-rated doors, and
electrical safety measures to ensure the safety of the occupants.
