Understanding Fire and its Concept / Training

Lack of training is your biggest fire risk
Of the many
thousands of offices,
shops and factories
that are gutted by fire
every year, more than
half probably have fire
extinguishers installed. The reason for this rather
shocking statistic is that even the most advanced
fire fighting equipment is greatly hampered when
the user is untrained. Which is why it is legally
mandatory in countries like the US and UK for
commercial establishments to conduct regular fire
safety training programmes for their employees.
Learn about the enemy before you are
forced to fight it
There are clear, pre-defined procedures for
activating and operating different types of
fire extinguishers. In order to effectively fight a fire,
an individual needs to be familiar with the different types of fire, the different types of extinguishers
and the procedures for activation and usage of
each of these extinguishers. Yet, surprisingly, many
people attempt to learn how to use a fire
extinguisher, when they are actually face to face
with a real fire.
There's more to fire safety than
just fighting a fire
Fire fighting is just one aspect of fire safety. An
understanding of how fire operates, basic fire
prevention practices and the importance of smoke
detection systems can work towards ensuring that
you never actually have to face a fire, leave alone
fight it. And, as every trained fire fighter will testify,
the most critical aspect of training for a fire
situation is the evacuation plan: ensuring that
everyone on the premises knows what to do in
an emergency.An authoritative training programme
The Operation Ceasefire Fire Safety Training
Programme covers all the possible lines of defense
against the threat of fire. The programme comprises
seven key fire safety training segments and is based
on material gathered from several prominent industry
experts and our own research over decades.
Intensive sessions every quarter
Conducted by internationally trained educators,
using the latest multimedia tools, the programme is
administered over four quarterly training sessions,
in the convenience of your own office or factory.
It is important to space out the sessions as it
allows trainers to consistently raise the participants'
consciousness bar on fire and fire safety, and
ensure that they do not forget what they have learnt
in the previous sessions.Session One: Understanding Fire
The starting point for fire safety training is a
thorough and practical understanding of fire.
This session covers:The characteristics of fire
How fires grow and spread
The different types of fire
How each type of fire is controlled and
extinguished
The characteristics of an ideal fire extinguisher
