This study aimed to evaluate the level of preparedness, response, and recovery phases experienced by the respondents in terms of age, sex, length of service, and educational attainment. The researchers did a random selection of respondents found in Dapitan and Dipolog’s bus terminals and public markets as well as from the Budget Office, Accounting Office, Human Resource and Development Office, Cashier’s Office, and Registrar’s Office of both JRMSU Main and Dipolog Campus. This study utilized the descriptive correlational method of research using a questionnaire as the main tool in data gathering. Results revealed that majority of the workers age from 46 to 55 years old, female workers were the dominant respondents, the length of service was five years and below, and mostly college graduates. Most of the workers had an average weighted mean of 3.56, 3.73, 3.39 in terms of preparedness, response, and recovery phases as to fire safety management. Nevertheless, there was a significant difference in terms of educational attainment in the preparedness and response phases as well as to sex in the recovery phase. To enhance the fire safety management the researchers proposed that there would be a collaboration of services for both agencies namely: the Bureau of Fire Protection and Emergency Medical Service.
