On-site fire safety training delivered at your Preston premises by ABBE Level 4 qualified assessors. Practical, building-specific, with live fire extinguisher use included.
Fire safety training in Preston.
Our head office is based in Chester, and our team regularly works in Preston and our team regularly delivers fire safety training at premises across Preston and the surrounding Lancashire area.
Fire safety training delivered on-site at your premises — by a qualified assessor who references your specific building, your actual escape routes, and your current evacuation procedure — is the standard that Lancashire Fire & Rescue expects to find when they audit non-domestic premises. Generic online training may satisfy the minimum awareness requirement for low-risk premises; for most buildings it does not provide the building-specific evidence the fire authority expects to see.
Preston City Council also expects training records to be current for licensed premises. A responsible person who cannot produce training records for current staff, or whose records show only online completion certificates, is not in a defensible position under the FSO.
We deliver Fire Safety Awareness sessions (£395) and Fire Marshal sessions (£495) at your Preston premises on a date that suits your operation. Live fire extinguisher use is included in both. Call 01244 394 244 to discuss your building and your team.

Our training is delivered on-site at your Preston premises by the same qualified assessors who carry out your fire risk assessment — people who understand what Lancashire Fire & Rescue inspectors expect, what the FSO requires, and how to make training practical and building-specific rather than generic.
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.
Every premises type has its own training requirements.

Fire safety training in Preston — your questions answered.
How much does fire safety training cost in Preston?
Fire Safety Awareness training is £395 per session. Fire Marshal training is £495 per session. Both are delivered on-site at your premises with live fire extinguisher use included. Call 01244 394 244 to discuss.
How many staff can attend each session?
Typically up to 20 delegates per session. For larger teams, multiple sessions can be arranged. We will advise on the most efficient structure for your team size.
Is online fire safety training adequate?
For most premises, Lancashire Fire & Rescue expects on-site training specific to the building — referencing the actual escape routes, assembly point, and evacuation procedure. An online completion certificate does not provide that evidence.
How often should fire safety training be repeated?
Annual refresher training is appropriate for most premises. New starters should receive induction training before taking up their role.
Do you cover other fire safety services in Preston?
Yes — alongside training we offer fire risk assessments, fire door inspections, fire evacuation plans, fire safety policies, and evacuation chair training.
We also cover the areas surrounding Preston.
Alongside Preston, our team covers Blackpool, Blackburn, Burnley, Southport, Lancaster as part of our regular North West and North Wales operation. If your premises span multiple locations, or if you have properties in both Preston and the surrounding area, we can coordinate visits efficiently to reduce disruption and travel time.
