Fire incidents in any cause may lead to a devastating effect to the community or family where the fire incident happens. It is considered as an accident that could destroy properties of the family in a very short period of time. This study determined the five-year trend analysis of fire incidents in Ozamiz City using the available historical data from 2016-2021. The study employed retrospective method of research. Since it is a retrospective study, the result of interest has already occurred, and the data obtained is from records, no volunteers will be used in this study. However, the Bureau of Fire Protection Officers of Ozamiz City will offer the study's relevant data. According to the findings, electrical related fire incidents are the most common cause of fire in Ozamiz City, whereas LPG related fires are the least likely to cause fires. It is suggested that Ozamiz City's Bureau of Fire Protection hold monthly lectures or programs on fire safety and prevention in the community. Ozamiz City residents should exercise caution when leaving their homes and avoid using the octopus connection to avoid power outages. Furthermore, staff from Ozamiz City's Bureau of Fire Protection should conduct more frequent fire inspections in the city's businesses.
