Comparative Fire Damages
On fire Prevention
Prevention section is dedicated to minimize the loss of life and property through a collaborative community effort of education, engineering & enforcement. The Fire Prevention Division is divided into the following: Life Safety Service Programs, Public Education and Code Enforcement.
This station has conducted massive fire prevention activities citywide. Inspected numerous numbers of establishments to ensure the safety of the constituents living in the AOR of Antipolo City. Prevention activities work hand in hand with educational goals. Here a broader approach is taken, addressing specific hazards that exist within the community by performing physical inspections of the occupancies. Many problems that are found can be corrected immediately which provides immediate resolution to unsafe conditions & eliminating the need for follow-up inspections. The Antipolo City FS also has conducted a series of lectures and seminars to inform the public of their responsibility to be fire safety conscious. Educating our community of the risk & dangers of fire in our daily lives is a vital first step in teaching the public what to do in the event of an emergency. Firefighters in schools, teaching children what to do in case of fire, and other general personal safety practice instill good habits that will lower the risk of injury or loss to this get-risk group. We also concentrate on the general citizen who generally does not come in contact with the fire department in everyday life. By addressing education first, we are reminded that in order for unsafe conditions to be corrected or eliminated for the home, school & workplace, the general public must first be able to identify that a condition is not safe or potentially hazardous in nature.
Fire safety information dissemination campaign has been intensified to promote fire safety awareness to the general public. As such, fire drills also are being conducted to prepare the populace in case untoward incident may happen. The tables below show the monthly accomplishment report of fire prevention activities of this office.

As the city grows in both population and complexity, so does the demand on the department. Fire Protection is a partnership between community and the fire department, thus, continues to be very proactive, efficient, and exceptionally effective in our delivery of services. We are a consummate organization, thanks to the support of the mayor, City council as well as other City Department.
And like every fire department in other city, we too faced many challenges due to financial deficits. Our delivery of emergency services is still second to none and will continue to be our top priority. We will continue to search for new and creative ways to educate our citizens in fire safety in an equally challenging year in 2011 and the department will definitely maintain a proper level of readiness and meet the community’s rescue need. Utilizing the strategic plan that will improve departmental effectiveness and service delivery while enhancing both internal and external relationship and ensure an adequate training for our personnel and a fully functional apparatus.
