Basic response procedures during

Week 5 a fire incident

Overview
To estimate the degree to which fire safety training should be offered, it is important to evaluate the current level of
fire safety awareness within the general population. Thousands of individuals lose their lives every year or are critically
injured due to fire-related hazards. It is important to stay alert at all times when dealing with a fire and follow preventive
measures to avoid the fire. Knowledge of fire protection requires identifying the potential hazards that can cause a fire danger
and taking reasonable measures to avoid and mitigate the harm caused by a fire.

LET’S TRY! (PRE-ASSESSMENT)

Directions: Fill in the K-W-L Chart below to assess your prior knowledge and understanding of the topic.
What I Know? What I Wonder? What I Learned?
- During fire, be calm but act - What should I do when a fire broke - I learned that we must evaluate

TITLE OF THE ACTIVITY: Basic response procedures during a fire incident
LEARNING COMPETENCY CODE: DRR11/12-IIe-f-40

Second Quarter
Week 5-Day 1
For the learner:
This worksheet contains activities about the basic response procedures during a fire incident. You may answer
directly to this activity sheets and make sure to follow the directions stated in each part of the activity. Answer all questions
the best that you can and please write eligibly.

For the parents:

Learners may require your guidance in following the directions and answering the questions in each part of the

Basic Response Procedures:

1. If inside a burning area
A. Once you hear the fire alarm, evacuate to a safe area right away.
B. If you see fires, pull fire alarms as you exit the area. Inform other people present in the area of the fire that is occurring.
C. If the fire is still small and can be extinguished, use an appropriate fire extinguisher (recall the different classes of fire).
Usually, normal fire extinguishers do the job, but if unavailable, buckets of water or damp cloths would do.
D. If the fire is already large and is rapidly spreading (growth phase), immediately find the nearest exit and exit the area.
E. Touch doors first to check if they are warm before opening them. If they are warm, do not attempt to open and proceed to a
different route.
F. Use the stairs not elevators.
G. Close all windows and doors that you can reach as you exit.
H. If there is smoke, stay as low as possible. Also, try to cover your nose to prevent inhalation.
I. Once outside, move away from the exits and assemble in a safe area designated by the evacuation plan of the area or by
emergency response teams.
2. If outside a burning area
A. Do not attempt to go inside the burning area.
B. Immediately contact the nearest fire station and other emergency response numbers.
C. Listen and follow orders of the emergency response teams.
D. Organize/Participate in a bucket relay. Bucket relay is when people help the fire fighters by passing buckets full of water
either to try to extinguish the fire or to prevent the fire from further spreading.
3. If you catch fire, do the “stop, drop, and roll” right away.
4. If you are unable to leave the area unscathed or you have suffered burns, immediately attend to them depending on the
degree of burn.

Modified from: https://www.process.st/checklist/fire-inspection-checklist/

Now you have collected information on the hazards and risks, evaluate this knowledge and assess the likelihood of a
fire breaking out, and how it could occur based on your gathered intelligence. Record at least two fire hazards you have
identified, and how you have reduced or removed them.
IDENTIFIED FIRE HAZARDS IN YOUR HOW ARE YOU GOING TO PREVENT THE
HOME IDENTIFIED HAZARDS?
1. House made up of light materials Put away flammable materials in safe place
2.

What is your most valuable lesson in learning basic responses during fire incident?
Prevention is better than cure, being ready and prepare for all possibilities

TITLE OF THE ACTIVITY: Fire emergency and evacuation plans
LEARNING COMPETENCY CODE: DRR11/12-IIe-f-41

Second Quarter
Week 5-Day 2 and 3
For the learner:
This worksheet contains activities about the fire emergency and evacuation plans. You may answer directly to this
activity sheets and make sure to follow the directions stated in each part of the activity. Answer all questions the best that you
can and please write eligibly.

For the parents:

Learners may require your guidance in following the directions and answering the questions in each part of the
activity. Make sure that they answer each part of the worksheet.
 The very first decision in the workplace situation is whether the workers will stay inside or leave the house. Most
firms mainly focus on crises that involve remaining inside, such as earthquake or tornado drills, or what to do when an armed
intruder commits violence, but where the plans are short, they plan for emergency situations needing evacuation.
Hazards within the building, from fire to dangerous chemical leakage, demand immediate evacuation. Evacuation
plan is vital in order for us to save our lives.

The Fire Drill

1. Do not forget to “stop, drop, and roll” when their clothes caught fire.
2. Check doors first if they are warm/hot before opening.

Conduct the Fire Drill

1. Phase 1: Alarm – Fire alarms are sounded.
2. Phase 2: Response – Alert for fire, and smoke.
3. Phase 3: Evacuation – All building occupants evacuate, following pre-determined routes to the evacuation areas.
4. Phase 4: Assembly – At the designated evacuation area, everyone should assembly together.
5. Phase 5: Head Count – Make sure all participants are counted before and after the fire drill.
6. Phase 6: Evaluation – Evaluation of the drill is conducted to identify problems during the drill and how these be corrected.

OBJECTIVE:
Follow fire emergency and evacuation plans. DRR11/12-IIe-f-41

 Worksheet
 Pen

Directions:
1. In a separate sheet of paper, draw the layout of your home as best as
you can, include:

• Windows (if they can be used as exits)
• Fire escapes (if in an apartment)
2. Draw two floor plans if your house is 2 stories.
3. Label each room.
4. Draw a circle where there are smoke alarms.
5. Draw two ways out of each room.

Video title: Stories of survival, 18 years after the Ozone Disco tragedy | Front Row
Ozone disco fire started with a spark above the DJ booth, it probably because of poor electrical.
_____________________________________________________________________________
As the fire grow larger the people started to panic rushing to the exit doors, the guards thought
_____________________________________________________________________________
_____________________________________________________________________________
that the people are rioting not knowing that there is a fire so they closed the door. The doors are
_____________________________________________________________________________
opened inward so the rushing people can't open it, when the doors are finally opened some people
were pushed backed and some of them died because of stampede. This is one of the reasons why we need to educate people
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________
about basic fire safety to avoid this kind of tragedy.
