The study evaluated the training and operational preparedness of the Dela Paz Fire and Rescue Volunteer Fire Brigade (DPFRVFB) in Pasig City, given rising fire risks in densely populated urban areas. Using a mixed-methods approach—surveys of 35 respondents and interviews with 10 stakeholders—the research assessed readiness across eight key operational domains, including equipment use, fire suppression, rescue procedures, and emergency medical response. Statistical analysis (Kruskal-Wallis test) showed significant differences in perceptions of preparedness among Barangay officials, BFP personnel, and fire volunteers. Qualitative findings revealed challenges such as limited access to fire-prone sites, civilian interference, insufficient protective gear, and poor communication systems. Although Barangay officials rated the brigade highly, volunteers themselves reported only moderate confidence, exposing a gap between perceived and actual readiness. The study concludes that while administrative support is strong, improvements in training, equipment, and coordination are necessary to strengthen the effectiveness of volunteer fire brigades.
