Fire Extinguisher Training

Fire Extinguisher Training Overview

Fire can occur suddenly and spread quickly, making it crucial for employees to be well-prepared to respond. Our Fire Extinguisher Training provides participants with the knowledge and practical skills to safely manage small fires in the workplace.

Fire is a chemical reaction involving rapid oxidation or burning of fuel, and it requires three key elements to occur: fuel, oxygen, and heat. This course reviews how fires are classified, how to prevent fires from occurring, and how to safely use fire extinguishers to control small fires. In addition, participants will learn when it is unsafe to fight a fire, what to do if someone catches on fire, and how to evacuate a burning building efficiently and safely.

This training is essential for any workplace to ensure employees can act confidently and appropriately during fire emergencies.
