Fire Demonstration Training

Fire demonstration training is a structured, hands-on session designed to teach participants how to prevent, respond to, and suppress fires safely and effectively. The training typically incorporates theoretical instruction combined with practical, supervised exercises—often including the use of fire extinguishers and simulated fire scenarios—to equip attendees with critical skills and confidence.

Execute (PASS Technique)

• Pull the pin
• Aim at the base of the fire
• Squeeze the handle
• Sweep side to side

Key Elements

• Awareness and Prevention: Trainees learn about fire hazards, fire chemistry (the fire tetrahedron: fuel, oxygen, heat, and chemical chain reaction), and the different classes of fire (A, B, C, D, K), so they understand what types of extinguishers to use and which situations require evacuation.
• Hands-On Extinguisher Training
• The training often follows the FED (Familiarise, Execute, Discharge) model
• Familiarise: Participants inspect real extinguishers, learn about their types, mechanisms, and instructions.
• Discharge: Attendees use extinguishers on controlled fires (such as a pan or propane simulator), guided by professionals, to reinforce the proper steps in a safe environment.
• Evacuation and Emergency Response: Training often covers detailed evacuation plans—including floor-wise escape routes and assembly points—ensuring participants know how to evacuate swiftly and safely in a real emergency.
• Rescue and First Responder Roles: For larger organizations, demonstrations may also include rescue techniques and the roles of fire teams or designated fire wardens.
• Continuous Improvement and Feedback: After practical drills, feedback is collected to identify areas for improvement, reinforce knowledge, and adjust training protocols as needed.
• Muscle Memory: Repeated, hands-on practice leads to quick, instinctive responses in the event of a fire, reducing panic and increasing safety.
• Confidence: Firsthand experience with equipment and scenarios boosts participants’ confidence to act in real emergencies.
