Fire Extinguisher & Fire Warden Training for UK Businesses
✅ Comply with Fire Safety Regulations Through Professional Training
UK fire safety law requires employees to receive adequate fire safety training appropriate to their role, workplace and the risks identified within the fire risk assessment. Staff who have specific fire safety responsibilities, including fire wardens or those expected to use firefighting equipment, may require additional practical training.
At Kings Fire, we deliver practical, on-site fire safety training tailored to your business needs, helping you meet compliance and improve employee confidence in emergency situations.
🔥 Types of Fire Safety Training We Offer
Fire Extinguisher Training - Ideal for general staff, this course teaches candidates how to safely and effectively use various types of fire extinguishers and fire blankets in real-life situations.
Fire Warden Training - Designed for staff with designated fire safety responsibilities. Training includes evacuation procedures, fire prevention strategies, and leadership during fire emergencies.How many fire wardens do you need?
There is no single fixed number of fire wardens suitable for every workplace. The number required should be determined by the fire risk assessment and take account of the size and layout of the premises, occupancy levels, shift patterns, holidays, sickness and the evacuation strategy.
🧯 Live Fire Training – Real Experience, Real Confidence
Our on-site sessions include live fire practical sessions, where candidates handle real fire extinguishers and use fire blankets on controlled flames. This hands-on experience allows staff to:
-
Understand how each type of extinguisher works
-
Learn when and how to use them correctly
Learn how to use fire blankets safely
-
Build confidence in an emergency response
This is invaluable, as each fire extinguisher has different operating techniques and sounds, which can be confusing without practical experience.
