The Fire Bureau is the frontline in the prevention of fires and the implementation of the Fire Code of the Philippines. The bureau issues business permits, licenses, and building permits as part of its regulatory authority to ensure proper compliance with the Fire Code. Destructive fires happen in the most unexpected ways, leaving a devastating effect on property, and at worst, it may even result in casualties. This study explored the work experiences of the fire marshals in managing the fire station. To dive deep into the work stories of the Fire Marshall, this study selected ten (10) participants who served as an integral part of the research coming from (10) selected fire stations in the Province of Samar, starting from the District I Calbayog City Fire Station, Sta. Margarita Fire Station and Gandara Fire Station, and District II from Catbalogan City Fire Station, Jiabong Fire Station, Motiong Fire Station, Calbiga Fire Station, Pinabacdao Fire Station, and Villareal Fire Station. This study employed a phenomenological research design. Interviews were conducted using a mobile device to record the conversation, ensuring an accurate transcription. To ensure confidence in answering the questions and securing accurate data, the informants are permitted to answer in their most convenient way. Most of the Informants answered in Waray-waray, while some answered in English and a combination of English, Filipino, and Waray-waray.
