Fire safety training in Preston.
We deliver fire safety training across Preston, from the city centre and the university to industrial and distribution sites on the edge of the city. Our trainers are based across the region and regularly work in Lancashire.
Preston is Lancashire's administrative centre and has a large student population. Many of our sessions here are for offices, student accommodation and healthcare, alongside manufacturing and logistics.
When Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service inspects a Preston premises, one of the first things it asks for is evidence of staff training. The strongest evidence is a record of on-site sessions that covered the building itself, delivered by a competent person.
We come to you, so your staff train in the building they work in. To arrange a session in Preston, call 01244 450 990 and tell us about your premises and team size.

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.
Lancashire's administrative and student city
Preston is home to Lancashire County Council's headquarters, the Royal Preston Hospital and the University of Central Lancashire, one of the largest universities in the North West. Large office buildings and student residences are spread across the city.
Around Preston there are distribution sites close to the M6 and M55, and a strong aerospace and advanced engineering sector in the surrounding area. That gives us a wide variety of buildings and audiences.
Student accommodation
We train site teams on false alarm handling, resident briefings and the building's evacuation strategy.
Large offices
Fire marshal teams learn how to sweep floors, support people with mobility needs and report at the assembly point.
Engineering and aerospace supply chain
We cover hot work, flammable materials and the safe shutdown of plant.
Our sector guides cover offices, schools, care homes, hotels, warehouses and HMOs and shared housing in more detail, and we train in all of these settings in Preston.
As well as Preston itself, we deliver training in Fulwood, Ashton-on-Ribble, Penwortham, Bamber Bridge, Leyland, Longridge and the docks area.

"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
