Objectives

• Develop Fire Safety Awareness: Equip participants with comprehensive knowledge of fire classifications, causes, and prevention strategies.Understand Fire Science: Provide a solid foundation in the science of combustion and fire behavior.Promote Risk Assessment Skills: Enable learners to identify and assess fire hazards in various environments.Teach Suppression Techniques: Offer practical demonstrations of fire suppression and emergency response methods.Enhance Problem-Solving Abilities: Train participants to apply critical thinking in breaking the fire triangle to prevent and control fires.Prepare for Emergency Roles: Familiarize learners with the roles and responsibilities of firefighting and rescue teams.

Outcomes

pon completing this course, participants will be able to:Classify Fires: Identify fire types (A, B, C, D, K) and understand the unique risks and suppression challenges associated with each.Analyze Fire Causes: Explain common causes of fires in industrial, residential, and natural settings, including human and environmental contributions.Demonstrate Fire Science Principles: Understand and articulate the role of heat, fuel, and oxygen in fire ignition, spread, and suppression.Apply Suppression Techniques: Perform basic fire suppression tasks using appropriate extinguishing methods and tools.Conduct Risk Assessments: Evaluate fire hazards in workplaces and homes and recommend safety measures.Understand Fire Behavior: Analyze how fires spread through conduction, convection, and radiation, and recognize the impact of materials and environmental conditions.Collaborate Effectively in Emergencies: Understand team dynamics and coordination required during fire suppression and rescue ef
