Key Learning Outcomes

  • Understand the six fire classes A through F.
  • Match each fire type with the correct extinguishing agent:
  • Water for Class A fires
  • Foam for Class A and B fires
  • CO₂ for Class B and electrically energized equipment
  • Dry Powder (ABE) for Class A, B, C, and E fires
  • Wet Chemical for Class F and selected Class A fires

Identify extinguisher types using standard colour bands:

  • Red for Water
  • Blue for Foam
  • Black for CO₂
  • White for Dry Powder
  • Oatmeal for Wet Chemical

Learn the four operational steps for safe extinguisher use:

  • Pull the pin
  • Aim at the base of the fire
  • Squeeze the handle
  • Sweep the nozzle from side to side

  • Assess fire size and severity to decide between intervention and evacuation.
  • Alert others using verbal warnings or fire alarm systems.
  • Recognize situations where extinguisher use is unsafe, including large or rapidly spreading fires.

  • Apply learned principles across varied scenarios, including electrical, oil, paper, and gas fires.
  • Select the appropriate extinguisher based on fire class and conditions.
  • Use the extinguisher correctly and safely before smoke and heat escalate.
Overview

Train teams to respond quickly, remain composed, and select the correct extinguisher through an immersive experience that builds practical skills and response confidence, reinforcing accurate and safe fire actions in real workplace conditions while supporting compliance and frontline safety readiness across multiple industries.

About The Course

Fire extinguishers play a vital role in workplace safety, but their effectiveness depends on correct and timely use.

Participants are placed in high-pressure simulated scenarios that require active response, including:

  • Identifying fire classes and determining the appropriate response.
  • Selecting and deploying the correct extinguisher for each situation.
  • Operating extinguishers safely under stress as conditions dynamically change, such as reduced visibility from smoke.
  • Strengthening fire safety awareness and emergency decision-making.

This hands-on training develops practical competence for everyday preparedness and formal assessment, replacing passive instruction with realistic fire response experience.
