Fire safety training in Birkenhead.
We deliver fire safety training across Birkenhead, from the docks and shipyard to offices, shops and housing in the town centre. Our trainers are based across the region and work on the Wirral regularly.
Birkenhead has a strong maritime and industrial heritage alongside one of the finest Georgian squares in England. Our sessions here reflect that mix of heavy industry and historic buildings.
Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service carries out audits across Birkenhead and the surrounding area, and staff training is a standard part of every audit. Records of building-specific sessions, with the date, content and attendees, make that part of the inspection straightforward.
We deliver sessions at your Birkenhead premises on a date that suits your working pattern. Call 01244 450 990 to talk through your building and your team.

Practical. Building-specific. Not a box-ticking exercise.
01 — Fire safety law
What the FSO requires of your staff
The legal framework explained in plain English — what the responsible person must do, what staff are required to do, and what happens when obligations are not met.
02 — Fire causes and prevention
How fires start and how to stop them
The ignition triangle, common ignition sources in your specific premises, and the practical prevention measures that reduce the likelihood of a fire starting.
03 — Fire detection and alarm
What the alarm means and what to do
Your specific alarm system, how it activates, what different signals mean, and the immediate action required from staff on hearing the alarm.
04 — Evacuation procedure
Your building's specific escape routes and assembly point
The evacuation procedure for your specific premises — escape routes, assembly point, roll call, and fire marshal responsibilities for each zone or floor.
05 — Fire extinguisher use
Hands-on practical use on a live fire
Every delegate uses a fire extinguisher on a live fire — the only way to build the confidence and muscle memory that makes the difference in a real emergency.
06 — Fire marshal duties
Specific responsibilities for designated marshals
Sweep duties, assembly point management, liaison with the fire service, and the specific responsibilities that designated marshals carry during and after an evacuation.
A maritime town with historic squares
Birkenhead's docks and shipyard have built and repaired ships for more than a century, and marine engineering and port businesses still operate along the river. These sites have hot work, fuels and large workforces.
Hamilton Square, with its Grade I listed Georgian terraces, sits at the heart of the town, and Birkenhead Park was one of the first publicly funded parks in the world. The town centre is being regenerated, with offices and homes alongside older buildings.
Marine and port engineering
We cover hot work, fuels and confined spaces, and how to brief the fire service on site hazards.
Offices in historic buildings
We walk the escape routes in older multi-storey buildings and explain why fire doors must stay closed.
Housing and shared accommodation
Housing staff and landlords learn practical checks and how to brief residents.
We also work across Birkenhead with offices, schools, care homes, hotels, warehouses and HMOs and shared housing, with each session built around the building.
As well as Birkenhead itself, we deliver training in Oxton, Claughton, Tranmere, Rock Ferry, Prenton, Bidston and Hamilton Square.

"Great training session. Tim explained everything clearly, kept it engaging and made the information interesting and easy to understand. At the end of the session, Tim showed each of us how to use a fire extinguisher to put out a small fire that he safely started in a metal bucket. I have taken all this feedback to the practice i work in and we have now invited Tim to come and train the whole practice. Highly recommend this company."Julie P. · Google Review
