The primary objective of the activity was to educate students, faculty, and staff on fire prevention measures, enhance their preparedness in case of fire emergencies, and demonstrate proper firefighting techniques. Through this initiative, the university seeks to strengthen safety protocols and foster a culture of disaster readiness.
The activity began with a fire safety lecture led by BFP personnel, covering essential topics such as fire causes, prevention tips, and emergency response procedures.
