Fire Extinguisher Training

William & 玛丽 offers comprehensive fire extinguisher training for clubs, organizations, students and faculty using two state-of-the-art simulators that replicate real-life fire extinguisher scenarios. Our "live fire" system and live fire simulator provide hands-on training that empowers participants to respond quickly and make critical decisions during an actual emergency evacuation.

Each year, Resident Advisors (RAs), students in chemistry and biology and laboratory staff can engage in this vital training. The session begins with a brief presentation covering essential fire safety dos and don'ts, followed by practical hands-on fire extinguisher training.

In addition, The EH&S Office offers specialized training for students, clubs and organizations that request open burn permits. These permits allow for the safe use of grills, fire pits and other open-flame activities.

To ensure accessibility, one of our training simulators projects a fire on a screen, allowing university office occupants — who may not be able to leave their buildings for a training session — to participate using laser fire extinguishers.
