Advanced Firefighting: 2 Days – R1,750.00 ex VAT

Fire departments and brigades responded to thousands of fires which unfortunately lead to many deaths and amounted to billion worth of damage in South Africa every year. Some organisations and industries are in a higher risk environment and require advanced firefighting for the company’s firefighting team and fire wardens. A firefighting extinguisher may not be sufficient and not successfully extinguish the fire, requiring the fire wardens to use more advanced firefighting equipment such as hose reels or fire hoses, branches, and hydrants to tackle the fire. 

The firefighting team must always look after their and the firefighting team’s safety, so it is also important for the team to not endanger themselves and withdraw as soon as their safety is jeopardized or questioned in any way. The professional firefighters from the fire departments, brigades, or emergency services, should arrive soon and manage the fire or emergency incident further.
