The primary purpose of fire safety training is to give staff an orientation to the actions they can take to prevent, as well as respond to, a fire in a home. The training emphasizes prevention, preparedness and response. Through lecture, slide and video format, trainers sensitize staff to the serious consequences of a fire and the importance of developing an effective evacuation plan and practicing the evacuation procedures so that everyone is aware of what to do in a fire emergency. It will provide participants with basic information about the causes and types of fires, as well as fire prevention, hazard identification, smoke and smoke detectors, and evacuation procedures. Prevention, preparedness, types of fire extinguishment, and response are the key elements of this training.
To receive a certificate, individuals must attend the entire training and receive a passing score on a 10-questions multiple choice test. Participants will be responsible for ensuring their agency receives a copy of their certificate.
Please be on time: There will be a 15 minute grace period, after which NO ONE will be admitted to Basic Fire Safety Training. If you are more than 15 minutes late, you will be asked to attend the next available training in order to receive credit for attending.
