Fire Extinguisher Training
Sault Ste. Marie Fire Services is able to provide both theory-based and hands-on portable fire extinguisher training. It is essential that members of the community be familiar with the proper use of portable fire extinguishers and know how to use them.
Teaching both components ensures a well-rounded understanding of the use of portable fire extinguishers. First, a classroom-style information seminar is delivered to provide the visual demonstration on portable fire extinguishing methods, types of extinguishers, and their proper selection, location, and maintenance. Next, a practical, hands-on component of the lesson is administered, which consists of a burn scenario on the digital training system with the use of the portable digital fire extinguisher training tool. Participants will have the opportunity to practice the techniques in a safe, controlled environment.
