A group from Cerberus Nuclear recently received fire safety training. Our trainer for the morning was Steve Wilcock from North West Fire Training. The course started with a presentation on fire safety, which included what fire extinguishers to use in the event of a fire and fire marshal strategies. 

A huge amount of content was covered as part of the training course, but the team’s key takeaways included: 

• Doors are a powerful tool in preventing the spread of fire, even if they are not a fire door; 
• Always check the detector which has gone off, and;
• Do not use a powder extinguisher in an office or home environment.

The presentation was interesting and Steve was very engaging! We were particularly in awe of how in sync he was with his presentation slides! 

After the presentation, the group had a chance to put what they had learnt to the test by putting out fires using a CO₂ and foam fire extinguisher.  

We’d like to say a massive thank you to Steve for delivering a great training course, and to Birchwood Golf Club for hosting us!
