Fire Extinguisher Training

 

Two types of fire extinguisher training are offered by INLOCC:

Online

Fire Safety & Extinguisher Training is an online class available to all members of the IU community. Access via CAS login is required (guest accounts can be used).

 Hands–on training

 

Hands–on training includes the use of a simulator or a burn pot and hand–held extinguishers. Class size is kept to a maximum of twenty people.If you become aware of a fire

 

• sound the alarm then
• exit the building,
• call 911 (to give more detail plus a few buildings have alarms that are not centrally monitored). 

If the fire is small (e.g., a wastebasket fire) and you have received extinguisher training, you may elect to use an extinguisher. Do not put yourself or others at risk!

The mechanics of operating an extinguisher are not difficult, but there are techniques (such as proper pointing) that are important. Learn the proper use of an extinguisher by taking one of our classes.
