Fire Extinguisher Training in the Workplace

Do the employees at your place of business know how to operate a portable fire extinguisher?

The wrong time to learn to use a portable fire extinguisher is when you're faced with a real fire situation. When faced with a fire, there isn't time to stop and read the instructions on the side of the extinguisher. If your employees would like to participate in hands-on fire extinguisher training, the Rancho Santa Fe Fire Protection District can help.

Fire extinguisher training covers:

• The fire tetrahedron and classes of fire
• Choosing the right fire extinguisher for the job
• Operating an extinguisher using P-A-S-S
• Fighting fire safely
• Live-fire training

To perform this training, your business will be required to provide enough fire extinguishers for the live fire segment. For practice, usually one extinguisher can be used per three adults.
