According to the college principal, Engineer Ts. Harmen Bin Musa, the implementation of this program aims to train teachers and students to quickly and safely evacuate in the event of emergencies or fires, and to master the steps in response.

He particularly praised the presence of Henry AK Jugah, Director of the Lutong Fire and Rescue Department, who personally attended and led his team to assist in completing the entire drill, demonstrating the fire department's high emphasis on campus safety education.
