To strengthen the preparedness and promote safety awareness among all Benguet State University (BSU) community members, BSU conducted a University-Wide Fire Drill. This is in line with the observance of Fire Prevention Month every March and in support of the provisions of Republic Act No. 9514, also known as the Fire Code of the Philippines of 2008.

Following the simulation, university officials and personnel from the Bureau of Fire Protection – CAR gathered at the RDC Hall for a post-drill evaluation. Led by VP for Administration and Finance Richard H. Kinnud, the meeting focused on evaluating the activity, identifying strengths and areas for improvement.

Kinnud expressed his gratitude for the BFP’s expert insights, noting that their recommendations are important to refining the university’s emergency response strategies and ensuring the safety of the entire BSU community.
