This action research addressed the Bureau of Fire Protection’s (BFP) issue on the insufficient and low-pressured water hydrants to improve first alarm fire response. Based on the BFP records, two (2) out of eight (8) fire stations in the 2nd Congressional District of Nueva Ecija have no fire hydrants while four (4) have insufficient and/or low-pressured fire hydrants. This action research aimed to: 1) To research and document historical and existing community operational mechanisms related to the insufficient number and low-pressured hydrants for responding to fires within the 2nd Congressional District of Nueva Ecija; 2) To identify system operations that are working well and could be replicated, as well as identifying elements that would benefit from further enhancing and strengthening 1st alarm fire response; and, 3) To develop and design community-level fire hydrants, with an emphasis on low-tech, simple and sustainable solutions, through a consultative process with existing community fire responders. This study utilized the D-M-A-I-C problem-solving methodology. The researchers utilized the three audiences in action research for inquiry: first-, second-, and third-person inquiry in gathering data for this action research project. Results of the observations, inquiry, and data collection show that the running-card system is the common mechanism of the fire stations to solve the issue of fire hydrant insufficiency. The researchers solicited operational mechanisms from the research locale, presented them to the offices to have a standard operational mechanism in case of water shortage, and came up with the BIDA FIRE HEROES or BIDA Funding Installation, Redevelopment, and Enhancement of Hydrants by Entreating Residents, Organizations, and External Stakeholders project. Private-owned businesses were also tapped to be part of the first and second phases of the project through the adoption of fire hydrants. Findings show that the upgrade and installation of new fire hydrants will improve the fire response of the BFP. Results of the study were discussed to the collaborators for future actions. It is recommended that the fire stations should use the gathered information from this study as baseline information for future improvement plans.
