Fire Extinguisher Training

Anyone with responsibility in the Fire Safety Plan requires fire extinguisher training. However, a fire can happen any time, so everyone should know how to select and use a portable fire extinguisher.

How Fire Extinguisher Training Prevents Large-Scale Disasters

Most large-scale fire disasters start out as small, easily-extinguishable fires. Having someone trained and prepared in the selection and usage of a fire extinguisher can save property and save lives. As a result, COHS regulations require all persons with responsibility, as outlined in your Fire Safety Plan, to have fire extinguisher training.

General Training Description

 

Our comprehensive training consists of engaging and important theory, as well as hands-on practice. Also included:

 

  • The chemistry and types of fire
  • Multimedia presentations
  • Q&A sessions with experts
  • How to select the correct extinguisher
  • The PASS method
  • Fight or Flight: when to fight a fire
  • Hands-on practice with real or simulated fires
  • Knowledge test
  • Laminated, personalized certificate (upon successful completion)

 

We provide all of the materials, so all your staff has to do is show up and learn. In the event of a smaller class size, on-site training can be provided.

 

Digital Fire Simulator

 

In addition to our popular live fire training, we are pleased to offer digital, simulated fire training for locations where it is impractical to conduct a live burn. This training is clean, green (for the environment), and can be conducted anywhere, even in an office boardroom.

The system senses where the user aims and sweeps the laser training extinguisher and automatically varies the LED driven digital flames in response. This allows your staff to learn how to effectively use a fire extinguisher without the complications of conducting a live burn. The system responds to the trainees’ actions, putting the fire out only when the extinguisher is used correctly. It can simulate a variety of fire classes and sizes.

 

Off Site Training Is Available for Small Classes

 

We sometimes deliver mixed training sessions where students from different businesses receive the training as a group. This is the perfect solution for individuals or small businesses that need training for only a few people.

Fire Drills & Training

Am I required to run fire drills, and how often?

According to the fire code, fire drills are required at least once a year for most occupancy types, with the frequency depending on building use and risk level. Regular drills ensure occupants are familiar with evacuation procedures, improve safety readiness, and confirm that fire safety systems function properly.

Do I need to provide my staff with fire extinguisher training, and how often?

Employees responsible for fire safety procedures must be properly trained in fire extinguisher use. While the fire code emphasizes the importance of training, the specific frequency may depend the province. We recommend annual training or as needed, based on employee turnover and your industry’s specific risks.

Do I need to provide my staff with Fire Warden Training, and how often?

The fire code requires designated individuals assisting with evacuations to receive appropriate instruction. We recommend Fire Warden Training annually to equip wardens with the skills needed to lead orderly evacuations, communicate effectively, and assist occupants during emergencies.

Who delivers your training, and are they credentialed?

Our trainers are certified fire safety professionals with extensive experience in emergency procedures. They hold credentials recognized by fire authorities and combine classroom and hands-on training methods.

How long does the training last?

Typical training sessions last between one and two hours, depending on the complexity of the material and the level of customization required.

Can your training be customized for our company’s needs?

Absolutely! Our training is tailored to your building layout, industry risks, and staff roles. We can include specific evacuation routes, site-specific equipment use, and scenario-based drills.

Multi-Site & Advanced Services

Can you train staff across multiple sites or provinces?

Yes, we specialize in multi-site training programs tailored to each location. This ensures consistent safety standards and compliance across all sites.

Do you offer maintenance services for fire safety equipment or systems?

While we focus on planning and training, we can connect you with trusted partners for equipment maintenance. Regular checks are essential, and we can coordinate these services as needed.
