Fire Extinguisher
Courses
Our open and also in house fire extinguisher courses London are for persons with or without live fire extinguisher training.
This course can include live fire extinguisher training. We can also include your fire emergency plans so the training is about your workplace!
We use three types of extinguishers on our open fire extinguisher courses London and also in house fire extinguisher training London live sessions. Staff can practice with water spray, foam spray and CO2 fire extinguishers.
Our team operate an LPG fire training rig. This allows us to burn a small amount of gas through water to simulate fires. The fires can be maintained during the exercise until the operator performs the corrects action. Alternatively, we can stop the gas supply while the attendee fights the fire. The decision on how we operate will depend on factors such as; weather conditions, confidence of the student etc.
The Government has produced a number of documents to help managers with the Fire Safety Order 2005. All guides state that fire extinguisher use should be taught to all employees and also volunteers. This includes the the use and also location of fire extinguishers. However, there is no requirement to have live fire extinguisher training.
Our fire training courses are based on these Government guidance notes, British Standards and also fire service advice. Therefore, our courses and training will be considered suitable and sufficient by inspecting fire officers.

Fire Training London open fire extinguisher courses London are in three sessions. The first session is a fire awareness session showing how quickly fires can spread in buildings. This session will assist attendees in understanding how and when it is safe to tackle a fire with an extinguisher. The second session includes classes of fire and also what the best fire extinguisher for each class is. The session includes an overview of all of the key features of each fire extinguisher. In addition, the session includes information about fire extinguisher maintenance and also safety tips for the use of fire extinguishers. The last session is everyone's favourite! This is a practical session and each attendee will have the opportunity of tackling a fire on our rig. We are one of the few providers that provide a practical session on open courses.
This course was originally developed for fire service partners. We delivered fire service fire training courses for a leading fire authority. We have now updated this course to ensure it provides a cost effective solution for workplaces.
This will depend on the findings the fire risk assessment and fire emergency plan. If the building is high risk or there is a high turnover of staff, then fire extinguisher training should be more frequent. If the building is low risk and has small numbers of staff there may be a case for less frequent fire training.
Many of our clients train staff every 1 or 2 years.
Either call us or email us for more advise. Alternatively come on one of our open courses for more info. We will refund your open course fee if you book an in house course within three months of attending the course.
Some workplaces have this policy to minimise any risk to staff. They may take the view that the fire service will be able to respond quickly and also extinguish any fire. However, fires can spread very quickly and a small fire will quickly become a large fire. This may cause business disruption and also other problems. At Fire Training London, we believe that trained staff can recognise small types of fire and the correct type of extinguisher and can safely extinguish very small fires.
We train persons to recognise types of fire and extinguishers and also be aware of their own limitations. If a person has practised on a small controlled training fire they will have more confidence in tackling a real fire.
There is no requirement to carry out a practical fire extinguisher session but if you are able to do so it can be very beneficial for staff.
