The firefighting system is a vital part for any structure. Implementing a firefighting system at a student's college is important for protecting lives, minimising property damage, complying with guidelines, improving emergency preparedness, and keeping a positive image. There have been multiple incidents involving college students in Malaysia as a result of ignoring student complaints and causing a fire in a residential college. The purpose of this study is to analyse the implementation of a firefighting system by comparing two blocks of residential college and their level of a knowledge and awareness of the fire protection system. To achieve the objectives, a qualitative and quantitative method was applied, with a comparison checklist between two blocks prepared following the guidelines and a questionnaire survey distributed to students who staying at both residential colleges. The research findings help in collecting respondents' satisfaction and feedback regarding their college's firefighting system, as well as the appliances that need to be improved and installed for protecting students' lives. This research analyses how the installed firefighting system complies with safety requirements and standards to ensure that educational institutions have the appropriate equipment to protect their students and employees.
