OVERVIEW OF THE FIRE INSPECTION
AND FIRE SAFETY EDUCATION PROGRAM
FIRE INSPECTION
Fires can happen anytime, anywhere with devastating outcomes. The Fire Inspection and Fire Safety Education program, is the first of its kind in Canada and will provide you with vital training to protect people and properties from catastrophic fires before they start.
FIRE SAFETY EDUCATION
Education is the key to spreading awareness of fire and life safety for the community. Beyond this, education is also necessary in helping property owners in complying with the Fire Code by understanding their legislated requirements. Sure its handing out fire helmets at the fun fair but it's also providing critical fire safety information to all ages and demographics to reduce the loss of life and risk to property.
EXPERIENTIAL TEACHING
Learn by doing. The classroom provides the fundamentals for the understanding of the fire code, how to inspect, how to educate and how to investigate but nothing trumps hands on experiential learning. We take our students to our industry partners to learn first hand the application of the classroom to the real world
