The objective of this study is to identify the availability and implementation of fire protection systems in the Engineering Faculty of Teuku Umar University. The fire protection components identified were the access and water supply component, the mean of egress, passive and active fire protection systems, by conducting direct observations to the field using a checklist form. The building identification refers to the Minister of Public Works Regulation No. 26/PRT/M/2008, and the collected data was analyzed using the Likert scale method, which shows the level of conformity to the regulations based on the generated data. The result shows that the access and water supply components obtain 2.75 of the Likert scale. The mean of egress obtains an average value of 2.24 of the Likert scale. The values mean these facilities do not fulfill the regulation. The passive protection system obtains 2.48 of the Likert scale; it means the facilities do not fulfill the regulation. Active protection systems get an average value of 1.4 of the Likert scale; it means the facilities do not fulfill the regulation. The results of the study show that the fire protection system in the Faculty Of Engineering Building did not meet regulation No. 26/PRT/M/2008 overall so that further improvement is needed to fulfill the requirement of fire protection systems to overcame the danger of fire.
