As one of the BKP in MKJB, I was given Fire Marshall Course which only take for 3 days, the course start from 8th October till 10th October 2012. The benefit given by the collage to the BKPs' to take parts for this course is to give us the knowledge and handling of fire control in case there is a fire happens within the collage.
