Fire Extinguisher Training (optional)
The Fire Wardens course can be further enhanced by the inclusion of live fire extinguisher training.
Extinguisher practice is carried out using a propane fired simulator which provides realistic and safe simulation of fires. The simulator requires an area the size of three car parking spaces, and should be away from combustibles, in the open air and on ground level.
All delegates are able to practice using water extinguishers and be able to assess when a fire can be tackled and when to leave it to the fire service. This can reduce the likelihood of any incident developing into a major fire.
Extinguishers are provided for delegates to use.

This course was an eye-opener both for professional and personal fire safety. The videos reinforced visually the important points the trainer was making. It was educational, enjoyable and the trainer presented it very well.

Very interesting. Liked the real life story about the fire in care homes as it really opened my eyes and shocked me at what can happen if you don’t follow procedures 100%!
