I asked a teacher to check before being informed that the fire was raging with thick smoke,” he told Bernama when contacted, adding that he immediately instructed all students and staff to evacuate the building to safety. “Alhamdulillah, all are safe. The fire-resistant door also helped control the situation from spreading too quickly,” he said.
