Fire Prevention Month in the Philippines is an annual nationwide observance taking place every March. This initiative brings together the Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP), local government units, firefighting agencies, and educational institutions to engage in various activities aimed at promoting fire safety and prevention.

The establishment of March as Fire Prevention Month traces back to 1967, when former President Ferdinand Marcos signed Proclamation No. 115-A. This proclamation designated the entire year as the "Safety and Accident Prevention Year," with each month focusing on specific safety and accident prevention aspects.

The main objective of Proclamation No. 115-A was to instill "safety consciousness among our people every day of the year as a positive preventive approach to a problem that can be solved by more caution, vigilance, sobriety, exercise of common sense, and respect for the law."

The decision to allocate March as Fire Prevention Month underscores the need for heightened awareness and preparedness during a time when fire incidents historically surge. This proactive approach aims to reduce the occurrence of fires through increased caution and vigilance, promoting a culture of safety throughout the year.

In line with Fire Prevention Month, it is crucial to emphasize the importance of fire safety and prevention, as well as fire insurance. Individuals are encouraged to actively participate in fire prevention drills and activities conducted at workplaces, schools, or local communities. Being prepared and knowledgeable about fire safety measures can make a significant difference in minimizing risks and preventing potential disasters.
