Fire Safety Inspection Certificate, Online Portal using a Unified Application Form, Data Sharing, Joint Inspection, One-time Assessment, One-time payment and One-time Release 

The research study assessed the factors affecting the implementation of an automates system fin the Application of Fire Safety Inspection Certificate BFP in terms of an Online Portal using a Unified Application Form, Data Sharing, Joint Inspection, One-time assessment, and One-time payment and Online time Release. The study used the Qualitative Method using key informant interviews and focus group discussions at Laoag City Fire Station and City Government fin Laoag City, Ilocos Norte.
