The Fire reportedly started when a passerby accidentally discarded a cigarette filter near a bush close to the perimeter fence, leading to a bush fire that spread into the school premises. Hon. 

Jones Tangban, the founder of the College, attributed the incident to indiscriminate bush burning and appealed for assistance from NEMA and SEMA to address the aftermath.
