Formal Fire Safety

This curriculum is the DDS-approved Formal Fire Safety Training. This training is required for anyone who is going to be the designated Fire Safety Officer at the site. It provides participants with basic information about the causes and types of fire, fire prevention, smoke and smoke detectors, and evacuation procedures. There is a MANDATORY quiz at the end of this class.

***According to regulations, agencies can coordinate internal fire safety trainings as long as they meet the below criteria: CMR115, Chapter 7.05(6)
