Consolidated Fire

Incident in Metro Manila

By: FO1 Maylyn France N Bautista
Introduction

•  Fire can be made by human or nature. It is created through the

process of combustion which happens when fuel (that is heated to
its ignition temperature) is touched by oxygen in the atmosphere.
•  Fire is very useful to human, but it can be very destructive also.
•  Fire destruction is commonly happening during summer season,
due to higher ambient temperature, and some festive events, due
to availability of fire crackers.

• March is fire prevention month where the

government is taking initiatives to inform the
public of the real dangers from possible fire
incidents looming every summer season. With
information dissemination campaigns, public fire
drills and talks, raising public awareness on the
issue of fire prevention is a good way to keep
everyone vigilant.
