The Waukegan Fire Department Fire Extinguisher Training Program has helped hundreds of everyday people learn to fight controlled, yet real, fires.

Employers that are required by the Federal Government to provide training for their employees on Fire Extinguishers and their use may find that this training will meet their needs.

Employers and organizations will benefit from the additional safety knowledge and experience their employees learn.

During our class students learn how to choose the best type of fire extinguishing agent for extinguishing different type fires, the PASS method of operating an extinguisher, and other safety tips.

Our training classes are conducted from March through November, weather permitting.

Each class has an indoor video/discussion section and outdoor/practical session.

The Fire Trainer we use during our practical session is a Canadian-made-propane-fueled FTS Tudor, complete with remote ignition for that extra touch of safety.
