Core Training Objectives
Our curriculum is designed to move beyond theory and provide practical skills in the following areas:
  • Identifying Fire Classifications: Participants learn to quickly recognize different types of fires and the fuels involved.
  • Extinguisher Selection: Understanding which agent to use for Class A, B, C, D, or K hazards to prevent spreading the fire.
  • The PASS Method: A step-by-step mastery of the industry-standard technique:
    1. Pull the pin.
    2. Aim at the base of the fire.
    3. Squeeze the lever.
    4. Sweep from side to side.
  • Critical Decision Making: Recognizing the "point of no return" and understanding when emergency evacuation is a safer alternative than attempting to fight a fire.
