Fire safety in the home – practical training
Face to Face Recovery College Courses (18+)
Have you ever wondered how you would actually use a fire extinguisher if you needed to? Perhaps you’re not certain how you might safely find your way out of your home if it were filled with smoke? Do you have a fire blanket at home and aren’t quite sure what it’s for or to use it? Maybe you’ve never heard of a fire blanket?
In our two hour practical fire safety training session, taught by an experienced fire safety advisor and previous fire fighter, you’ll get the opportunity to:
- Learn about the things needed to start or fuel a fire and how we can reduce the risk of fire in the home by being more aware of these.
- See some of the consequences of not being fire aware.
- Learn about the different types of fire extinguisher and what each of these are for.
- Learn how to safety tackle a small fire, using fire extinguishers and a fire blanket.
- Learn how to safely make your way out of a smoke filled room (please note the “smoke” used in the practical is non-harmful and simply mimics the limited visibility caused by real smoke).
