Fire safety training in Lancaster.
We deliver fire safety training across Lancaster, Morecambe and the surrounding district. Our trainers are based across the region and regularly work with the city's universities, offices, shops and healthcare providers.
Lancaster is a historic city with two universities and a large student population. Many of our sessions here are for residential, education and healthcare settings in older buildings.
Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service expects training records to be up to date for every member of staff. Inspectors look for training that refers to your own building, including its escape routes and assembly point, and an online certificate on its own rarely shows that.
Sessions take place at your premises in Lancaster, at a time that fits around your operations, including early starts and shift changes. Call 01244 450 990 to discuss your requirements.

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 university city with Georgian streets
Lancaster's centre has many Georgian buildings, the castle and the priory, with shops, cafés and offices in older properties. Lancaster University and the University of Cumbria's campus bring large numbers of students, many of whom live in shared housing.
The district also includes Morecambe's seafront, the port at Heysham and industrial areas on the edge of the city. Each of these settings has different people and hazards to plan for.
Student housing and residences
We train landlords and residence teams on false alarms, resident briefings and fire door checks.
Georgian and listed buildings
We explain how fire spreads in older buildings and walk the escape routes with staff.
Healthcare and care settings
Staff learn progressive horizontal evacuation and assisted evacuation methods.
Alongside the local priorities above, we train staff in offices, schools, care homes, hotels, warehouses and HMOs and shared housing across Lancaster.
Around Lancaster we also cover Morecambe, Heysham, Carnforth, Galgate, Bailrigg, Halton and Bolton-le-Sands.

"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
