Practical training to help people understand when and how to use fire extinguishers safely.
Fire extinguisher training helps employees understand the role of portable fire extinguishers, when it may be appropriate to use them and how to do so safely. Clear, practical training supports confident decision making while reinforcing that personal safety and evacuation should always remain the priority.
Pyrsafe provides practical fire extinguisher training for businesses and organisations, helping staff understand different extinguisher types, their appropriate uses and the considerations involved before attempting to tackle a small fire.
Our training focuses on practical understanding rather than encouraging unnecessary risk. Sessions can be delivered on site and tailored to the building, fire risks and responsibilities of the people attending.
The aim is to give employees greater awareness and confidence while ensuring they understand when using an extinguisher may be appropriate and, importantly, when evacuation is the safest response.
Fire extinguisher training provides instruction on the safe and appropriate use of portable fire extinguishers. It covers basic fire behaviour, extinguisher types, and decision-making during an incident.
Training is designed to support fire safety awareness and complement wider fire safety arrangements within the building.

Employers with fire safety responsibilities
