Training

Fire extinguisher training is essential for ensuring safety in the workplace or at home, especially in emergencies. Proper training involves learning how to identify different types of fire extinguishers, knowing when and how to use them, understanding inspection requirements, and performing hands-on practice. This training will provide you with an overall general knowledge of fire extinguishers so that you are prepared to respond effectively in case of a fire emergency.  There will also be a hands-on portion to the training where we will be lighting some pallets on fire and extinguishing the fire so that you can see and feel what happens when you squeeze the handle.  (LIVE FIRE WILL BE DEPENDENT ON WIND/WEATHER.)
