Fire Extinguisher - First Aid Courses & Training for Kiwis - Meditrain

MediTrain can organise both fire extinguisher and fire safety training for all of your staff or a selected group of employees who will be team leaders or wardens in the event of a fire.

Knowing how to extinguish a fire can be life-saving. This certificated course will provide you with an understanding of the different types of fire extinguishers and give you the practical skills to put out a fire using the correct equipment.
