Practical training with portable fire extinguishers

Small Fire Extinguisher Training Area

Participants learn how to safely and effectively extinguish fires using handheld and portable fire extinguishers. Training takes place in realistic outdoor fire scenarios, allowing trainees to experience firsthand how different extinguishers work and what their limitations are.

What makes this facility unique is the hands-on approach to a variety of fire situations — from small liquid and gas fires to solid materials. Participants not only practice firefighting techniques but also learn to assess safety, distance, and the appropriate extinguishing strategy.

Who is it for

The Small Fire Extinguisher Training Area is used by maritime personnel, offshore teams, industrial emergency responders, and emergency response officers (BHV) who need to know how to control small fires quickly and effectively.

Under the guidance of experienced instructors, participants will learn to:

• Identify different types of fires and select the appropriate extinguishing agent

• Use portable extinguishers (powder, foam, CO₂) effectively

• Extinguish small liquid and gas fires

• Approach safely and aim extinguishers accurately

• Understand the limitations and capabilities of portable fire extinguishers
