FIRE EXTINGUISHER & FIRE SAFETY TRAINING

A FIRE BREAKS OUT IN YOUR WORKPLACE. DO YOUR EMPLOYEES KNOW WHAT TO DO?

Your business has fire extinguishers hanging on the walls–make sure your employees are ready to use them when faced with a fire. Our hands-on training will give your employees the confidence to safely and effectively handle a fire emergency by teaching them to put one out in a controlled burn or simulated fire situation.

MAKE SURE YOUR EMPLOYEES ARE READY WITH HANDS-ON TRAINING FROM FIRST RESPONSE.

WHAT YOUR TEAM WILL LEARN IN A FIRST RESPONSE FIRE EXTINGUISHER AND SAFETY TRAINING

In our hands-on training, your employees will learn how to properly identify the classes of fire, their priorities during a fire, which type of extinguisher to use on each class of fire, the limitations of each extinguisher, when not to attempt to fight a fire, potential hazards that exist in fighting fires, and safety tips that can save their lives and those of their families.

We utilize dramatic demonstrations, with different types of fuels, to reinforce the principles of fire behavior that we cover during the lecture portion. Each employee will gain hands-on experience by using an extinguisher to extinguish a live fire. This hands-on training is by far the most extensive fire training that can be brought on site to your facility.

ABOUT YOUR INSTRUCTOR

DAN CORRIGAN

OWNER, FOUNDER, & RETIRED FIREFIGHTER

Dan Corrigan is the lead fire safety instructor and founder of First Response. He retired after 32 years as a firefighter. During most of his firefighting career, Dan spent his days off from the fire station working in fire extinguisher sales, service, and training. The combination of these two career paths led to Dan seeing the need for high quality hands-on training and founding this company in 1996. This base of knowledge enables him to do a more thorough job of covering all aspects of fire safety, from prevention to extinguishment.

FIRE EXTINGUISHER TRAINING FAQS

What will be covered during my fire extinguisher training class?

Using the fire extinguisher is actually the easy part. The hard part is the mental aspect of dealing with fires. The first portion of class is an effective lecture presentation, covering all of these mental aspects necessary for successful extinguishment. Topics will include fire prevention, classes of fire, fire behavior, priorities during a fire situation, and proper use of the appropriate fire extinguishers. Home fire safety will also be covered, showing your employees that you care about them and their families 24 hours a day. Once the lecture portion is complete, your employees will be amazed when class is moved outdoors to conduct the demonstrations and the hands-on portion of training. We will also demonstrate all of the different fire extinguishers that you have at your facility.

How long is the fire extinguisher training?

Our company offers a one or two hour class, both meeting the OSHA requirements for hands-on fire extinguisher training. The one hour class is adequate for most facilities that have only one or two types of extinguishers. However, we do strongly recommend that companies who have never trained with us before hold a two hour class on their first year, so we have more time to build a solid foundation. Most of this extra time is spent in the classroom and covers many more topics in detail. Companies that have many different types of fire extinguishers may need to conduct two hour classes every year, as the extra time is necessary to cover every type of fire extinguisher at your facility in detail. Classes can also be customized to cover any other fire suppression equipment at your facility, such as fire hoses, dry chemical wheeled fire extinguishers, or manual fire suppression systems.

Can this training take place during the winter?

While most of our hand-on fire training is conducted in the summer months, we are able to facilitate training in the winter months using our fire extinguisher training simulator inside your facility. While not as involved as the live burn projects/hands-on training, this simulator training still meets the OSHA requirement for hands-on training.
