FIRE WARDEN / MARSHAL TRAINING
Lancashire Fire Protection can offer fire awareness training, fire warden / marshal training and hot work training.

If you don't have enough people to justify your own course, we do hold courses at a training facility in Preston (less than 1 mile from junction 29 of the M6) where we can train small groups or individuals from a number of companies. The next fire warden/marshal courses at our facility will take place on the 24th January, 26th February & 26th March 2025.

Why do I need fire training? If I see a fire in the building I'm just going to leave!
This is something we are often asked. Of course, if you see a fire in your building you are under no obligation to attempt to put the fire out using a fire extinguisher; if you don't feel confident that you can put out the fire then just make your way out of the building after raising the alarm. But consider a small fire; would you really allow a small fire to spread and potentially destroy the building? Sure you can get out, but what about others in the building? If the building was destroyed, what would the be the impact on the business - would it recover or is it likely to leave you without a job?
Fire training is not just about fighting fires. The fire training we provide will explain how fires can start and the ways that fire spreads. We explain how to prevent fires from starting in the first place and of course you'll have 'hands on' experience of different types of fire extinguishers in the 'practical use of extinguishers' section of the course.
Do I need to provide fire training?
Training of employees in fire safety procedures is a legal requirement under Part 2 Section 21 of The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. Lancashire Fire Protection can provide fire safety training for your staff at your premises in order for you to meet those requirements.
Will I receive a certificate?
Certificates will be sent electronically to trainees following completion of the course to demonstrate they have received fire training.
Which areas do you cover?
Based in Preston, we are ideally situated to cover Manchester, Liverpool and the North West of England. Should you have a requirement that is further afield, we may still be able to help you; just call us to discuss your requirement.
