Fire Extinguisher Training – Free Online Safety Course

A Fire Extinguisher is a portable safety device designed to put out or control small fires in emergency situations. It works by releasing an extinguishing agent, such as water, foam, dry chemical powder, or carbon dioxide, which removes one or more elements of the fire triangle: heat, fuel and oxygen.

Knowing how to select, operate and maintain a fire extinguisher is essential for effective fire prevention and emergency response.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

A fire extinguisher is a portable device that releases an extinguishing agent to control or put out small fires by removing heat, oxygen, or fuel.

Fire extinguisher training ensures you know how to select the correct extinguisher, operate it safely and respond effectively in an emergency.

The main types are water, foam, CO₂, dry chemical powder and wet chemical extinguishers each designed for specific fire classes.

Fires are classified (A, B, C, D, K) based on the fuel source, which determines the correct extinguisher type to use.

Workplaces need it to ensure staff can act quickly in a fire, reduce damage, protect lives and meet compliance standards.
