...of Fire Protection UNIVERSITY OF THE PHILIPPINES National College of Public Administration and Governance Diliman, Quezon City PERFORMANCE OF THE BUREAU OF FIRE PROTECTION (BFP): CONTRIBUTIONS TO FIRE MANAGEMENT A proposal submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for PA 199.2 By: Nheo Cervantes Geofel Soriano Adviser: Vicente Mariano September 27, 2011 I. Introduction Fires are one of the few calamities of which we can prevent. Besides the efforts of the Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP), and the passing of the Revised Fire Code or RA 9514 in 2008, fires are still one of the leading man-made disasters in the Philippines. In 2011, there had already been several fires like the incident last February 7 which left 3000 families homeless. Other than that, most establishments, most notably in Baguio, are fire safety violators (Dar, 2011). These incidents bring into question the effectiveness of the actions and programs of the BFP in terms of their response to fire emergencies. Because of this, the group decided to make a study that would assess the effectiveness of the BFP's response methods, campaigns and projects, and would try to come up with proposals that would increase the effectiveness of fire management in the country. II. The Problem The research problem of the group would focus on the Bureau of Fire Protection’s response to fire incidences in a specific area. Ideally, the BFP should be able to effectively respond to fire emergencies...

...The essay titled “The Price We Pay” written by Adam Mayblum, the author details his personal experience of escape from the World Trade Towers on September 11th. As I read this detailed account of his escape, I am emotionally affected. I am humbled to read acts of bravery, selflessness and teamwork. We see accounts of how Adam, himself, constantly puts himself in immediate danger to go back and help others descend from the building. He recalls how he went back to the 85th floor, after initially leaving, to go back and find one of his partners. He stops to account for his officemates, along with shepherding people out into safety. Throughout the narration, he is constantly reaching out to others to help them. He sees an associate stuck in the stairwell and asks him if he needs help and offers to help carry him. We see the selflessness of the firemen and police, who ascend the stairs to help others. Despite the smoke, fire and destruction around, they go without hesitation to help others. We also see acts of teamwork, in which everyone is trying hard to escape the building together. They are using a system of communication and touch, to blindly escape through the debris from the building. As I read these various accounts from the essay, I hold back tears. To see such courageous humanity, where you would think people would only care of their own safety, he shows us how we pull together to help each other. Such acts show us examples of humanity and love that cannot be destroyed, even...

...Why people don't respond to alarm signals People often fail to respond quickly to fire alarm signals. A common example: In a hotel, a fire alarm sounds late at night. Only a handful of people actually dress and leave (often using the elevators). A few people call the front desk. Many people periodically poke their heads out their doors to see what's going on. But mostly, people simply wait for the alarm signal to stop. Eventually, the alarm either shuts off, or someone (hopefully) comes to tell them that there is a real emergency and they must leave. This problem has aggravated and perplexed fire safety professionals over the years. Some denounce the public for their stupidity in failing to recognize the potential danger indicated by a fire alarm signal. Their concern is valid: in many fire emergencies, a rapid response is critical to survival. But attributing the problem to public stupidity is inaccurate and of no value in correcting the problem. In reality, people are simply exhibiting natural tendencies. Why don't people respond to alarm systems? There are several reasons. In this essay, these reasons are divided into two main categories: Alarm signals as sources of information. Other reasons why people do and don't respond apart from the information-value of alarm signals. Alarm signals as a source of information. In order to understand why people fail to respond to alarm signals, we need to look at the information-value of alarm signals. By information-value...

...Abby Ziemba Ryan-Gidman English 9A 09 February 2016 Imagery Essay Fire is one of the brightest and most powerful forms of light. It is life-giving, yet dangerous. It can give warmth and safety, but it can burn one if too close. Shakespeare uses the recurring symbol of fire in Romeo and Juliet in several different ways to illustrate beauty and intense emotions. Fire symbolizes love and hatred to express just how unstable and passionate emotions are and just how much damage they can cause. In Act 1, Scene 1 lines 79-81 Prince Escalus says, “What, ho! you men, you beasts, That quench the fire of your pernicious rage. With purple fountains issuing from your veins!” The Prince is connecting the feuding families rage and hate to red, hot, and uncontrollable emotions. More importantly, the quote is foreshadowing the two families feud will cause hatred throughout the whole city, similar to how fire spreads all over, such as the three brawls that take place in the city of Verona....

...lawteacher.net http://www.lawteacher.net/free-law-essays/2-2-essays/criminal-liability-essay.php Criminal Liability Essay "Criminal liability and the justifications for, and objectives of, punishment are based on the notion of individual blameworthiness" In light of the above statement, consider whether imposing criminal liability on corporations for manslaughter is ever justified. Introduction English law has yet to come to terms with the conceptually difficult task of attributing liability for manslaughter to a corporate entity. The essential problem is that a corporation is granted an independent status by a pragmatic legal fiction which affords an identity to entity which has no physical existence. Salomon v. Salomon & Co. [1897] is authority on this point. This is done in order to allow the corporation to assume responsibility and rights in its economic activities and this device has proved extremely useful in encouraging commercial risk taking and entrepreneurial activity. However, problems arise when it is necessary to consider the question of the criminal liability of the corporation, because one of the fundamental precepts of criminal law is that of personal criminal responsibility. The way in which criminal law attributes liability is by ascertaining a mens rea (a guilty mind) and an actus reus (a guilty act) on the part of the accused. It is difficult to accuse a company of possessing a guilty mind, because it has no personal mind or conscience, and it...
