Course Overview

The First Response to Fire course at ERGT Australia teaches learners how to act quickly and safely when a fire starts. Training includes recognising fire types, using extinguishers, and following emergency procedures.

The 1-day First Response to Fire course at ERGT Australia provides essential knowledge and hands-on skills for recognising and responding to workplace fire incidents.

Fires can escalate rapidly, and being able to act in the first few minutes is critical to protecting people, property, and operations.
