profiling of all bldgs/establishments
considering the difficulty of complying w/
the hard copy requirement by Fire

11. The BFP should reiterate the
accomplishment of AIR pursuantto BFP
MC No. 2012-001, if not issue a policy
simplifying the after-inspection report
requirement.
12. The BFP should direct the fire stations
to constantly reconcile and update their
registered establishment with LGU-BPLO.
Moreover, they should be required to
submit the "negative/positive list" to
LGU-BPLO pursuant to JMC No. 01 Series
of 2016 dated Aug 30, 2016.
13. The BFP should make strong

propose the discontinuance of the same,
viz:
1.a. The use of Unified Application Form-
severalLGUs do not use this form and the
BFP can neither impose it on them. These
LGUs made their own application form.
1.b. The use of logbook, claim stub and
written notice for lacking requirements -
evaluate the benefits maintaining the
logbook and issuance of claim
stubs/written notice. These requirements
are hardly followed in the Fire Stations.
1.c. On retaining original/duplicate copies
of FSIC - applicants not claiming their
original copies of FSIC; FS not forwarding
copy of FSIC to BPLO; and approving in
advance FSIC prior to compliance with
"negative" observations. Fire Stations
should ensure that: a.) original copy of
FSIC must be released to the applicants;
and duplicate copy of FSIC must be
forwarded to LGU-BPLO
2.The BFP should issue a policy clarifying
or enhancing the ff internal controls:
2.a.Designation and Bonding of
Accountable Officers - the designation of
Collecting Officers/Agents should follow
the requirements of IRR of RA 9514. Their
respective roles and responsibilities
should be provided with funds for their
cash accountability/fidelity bond as
accountable officers.
2.b. Pre-signed Official Receipts by the
Fire Marshal - this in itself is not a good
internal control practice for this tolerates
sacrificing accountability for convenience
and/or facilitation. Additional safeguards
should be implemented to
strengthenaccountability in handling
gov't funds (e.g.) bonding of officials
actually collecting cash payments and let
him/her be the one to sign the OR).
2.c. Utilization of Order of Payment Slip
(OPS) - reiterates the issuance of the
Bureau's prescribed OPS and ensures that
the supply of OPS is sufficient to all fire
stations.
2.d. Segregation of functions/duties bet
or among the vital positions involved in
the issuance of FSIC - pending the
granting of the request for additional
personnel, the BFP NHQ should not
tolerate or allow the performance of
conflicting and overlapping duties bet
and among Collecting Officer/FCCA,
Inspector, Plan Evaluator and
recommending/ approving officer.
2.e. Use of COA prescribed Cash Reciept
Record/Register Form - reiterate the
requirements of Appendix 29 Volume 1
of Gov't Accounting Manual on the
preparation of Cash Receipt Record. The
use and Maintenance of the BFP
computerized CRR instead of the COA
prescribed CRR should be cleared with
COA first.
2.f. Collections and deposits - update the
existing policy on collection and deposits
guided by the provisions of Section 134
Chp 4 Book 2 Volume 1 of GAAM.
2.g. Safety vaults - provide safety vaults
to all Fire Stations.
2.h. FSIC, Inspection Order and After
Inspection Report - these reports should
be signed by proper official before
releasing and/or filing them. Thus, the
policy on signatory protocols of FSIC,
Inspection Order and After Inspection
Report should be reiterated/enhanced.
2.i. The requisite Certificate of
Competency for FSIC - includes or
reiterates this requirement in the on-
going revision/amendment of Citizen's
Charter, Operations Manual and IRR.
2.j. Advance Inspection System not
conducted prior to issuance of Business
Permit - reiterate BFP Memo dated June
24, 2015.
2.k. Logbook/computer-based record for
inspection orders - evaluate the benefits
maintaining the logbook torecord details
of inspection conducted. Based on the
evaluation decide whether or not to
continue the said requirement.
3. The BFP shouldbe more robust in
implementing the Fire Code on
residential houses and gov't-owned
bldgs/structures. They may also consider
alternative solutions/measures to ensure
the fire-safety of gov't bldgs(especially
elem schools and hospitals) that are not
compliant with the Fire Code.
4. The BFP should have a Human
Resource Capacity/Development
Program for their Fire Safety
Inspectors/Investigators to provide them
with required competency and update
technical skills in the performance of
their functions and duties. Moreover, BFP
should formulate a Human Resource
Capacity Development Plan for all BFP
personnel addressing the identified
competency gaps to improve their
performance and increase productivity.
5. The BFP should enhance their policy, if
not; issue a policy on the assignment of
fire safty inspectors to guarantee
impartiality, integrity and reliability of fire
safety inspection findings/reports(e.g
relationship to the client, technical
capability, etc).
6. The BFP should come up with a specific
timelines on the conduct of 'periodic
inspection' and activities to be performed
by Fire Safety Inspectors.
7. The BFP should reconcile the
documentary requirements and
timelines/duration of activities on the
issuance of FSIC bet their Citizen's
Charter and their Operational Procedures
Manual.
8. In coordination w/ LGU-BPLO, the BFP
should classify ambulant vendors (e.g.
size, type, capital, etc.) to determine
what should be required w/ FSIC. This
should be included in the on-going
revision of the Fire Code IRR.
9. The BFP should clarify the proper
treatment of penalties and surcharges in
the computation of FSI fees on Business
Permits.
10. The BFP should revisit Memo issued
by Chief, BFP dated June 30, 2016 on the
profiling of all bldgs/establishments
considering the difficulty of complying w/
the hard copy requirement by Fire
Stations due to insufficient logistical
support, lack of storage rooms and lack of
personnel.
11. The BFP should reiterate the
accomplishment of AIR pursuantto BFP
MC No. 2012-001, if not issue a policy
simplifying the after-inspection report
requirement.
12. The BFP should direct the fire stations
to constantly reconcile and update their

Moreover, they should be required to
submit the "negative/positive list" to
LGU-BPLO pursuant to JMC No. 01 Series

13. The BFP should make strong
representations w/ LGUs, of which
several Fire Stations Have existing MOA,
to compel the former to remit in full their
collections of Fire Code Fees to the BFP
Fire Station concerned.
