The Quezon City Fire District (Filipino: ''Distritong Pamatay Sunog ng Lungsod Quezon'') also known as the ''Quezon City Fire Department'' and ''Fire District 5'' is an agency of the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) specifically under the Bureau of Fire Protection National Capital Region responsible for implementing national policies related to Firefighting and Protection as well as implementation of the Philippine Fire Code (PD 1185),〔http://www.lawphil.net/statutes/presdecs/pd1977/pd_1185_1977.html〕 which was repealed and replaced by the New Fire Code of the Philippines (RA 9514).〔http://www.lawphil.net/statutes/repacts/ra2008/ra_9514_2008.html〕 Formerly known as the Constabulary Central Fire District, the QCFD is in charge of the administration and management of city fire and emergency services in Quezon City. ==History== The Quezon City Fire Department was established together with the other departments of the newly formed Quezon City in 1939. It had a skeletal Firefighting force and was usually augmented by the Manila Fire Department. It was then Mayor Nicanor A. Roxas who formally appointed a Fire Chief by the name of Gaudioso Villegas.〔http://www.qcpubliclibrary.org/qcmanuscript.php#qc_officials〕 World War II came, and the Fire Services Department's control was ceded to the newly formed Japanese Government, particularly the Kempei Tai. After the war, the national government restructured all fire services were transferred operational control to the Philippine Constabulary. It was the Metropolitan Police Force Fire Service that exercised overall control over the various fire departments of Metro Manila, including the Quezon City Fire Department. On June 16, 1952 and subsequently on August 22, 1972 by virtue of RA 537〔http://www.lawcenter.ph/law-library/laws/republic-acts/republic-act-no-537-an-act-to-revise-the-charter-of-quezon-city/〕 and 6548, the QC Fire Department was placed under the operational control of the City Mayor.〔http://www.chanrobles.com/republicacts/republicactno6548.html#.U8pIU_noQaI〕 The Philippine Constabulary was integrated with the municipal and city police services, thus creating the Integrated National Police. The Quezon City Fire Department was renamed Central Fire District. It retained this name until 1991 when the Bureau of Fire Protection was established, further absorbing operational control over all Fire Departments and Emergency Medical Services in the Philippines. These changes to the organization moved administrative and operational control of the Central Fire District to the Bureau of Fire Protection National Capital Region (BFP-NCR). Central Fire District was again restructured and its name reverted to Quezon City Fire District at the dawn of the new millennia. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Quezon City Fire District」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
