Why Is Fire Marshal Training So Important in Care?

In care settings, fire emergencies pose a greater risk due to mobility challenges, oxygen use, and residents’ inability to self-evacuate. Delays or confusion during an incident can be catastrophic.

  • Equip every shift with confident, competent fire leaders
  • Deliver regular drills and practical training
  • Quickly induct new or agency staff
  • Strengthen your fire safety procedures

  • Content tailored to CQC and HSE guidance
  • Engaging delivery, practical learning, and flexible scheduling
