Abstract : Around the globe, forest fires have flared up. To address this, public safety agencies are mandated to prevent
these incidents and lessen the effects in case it will happen. In the Philippines, one of the agencies tasked to manage forest
fires is the Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP). Alarmingly, in the Cordillera region, forest fire has been posing as a rising
concern. This study aimed to discuss forest fire management in the Cordillera and identified the challenges faced in its
implementation. Qualitative research, mainly narrative design, was used in this study through the conduct of Key Informant
Interviews (KII), observations, and documentary analysis. The study's findings revealed that the BFP, in partnership with the
community and other agencies, follows the DRRM model to manage forest fires. Therefore, it is recommended that there is a
need to build capacities of both BFP and the community in dealing with a forest fire. There must also be a continuous and
sustainable information campaign on fire prevention initiatives and activities.
