Fire safety training in Southport.
We deliver fire safety training across Southport, Birkdale and Ainsdale. Our trainers are based across the region and regularly work with the town's hotels, care homes, shops and venues.
Southport is a Victorian seaside town with a large number of care homes and hotels in grand older buildings. Training for people who may need help to leave is a large part of our work here.
Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service carries out audits across Southport 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 Southport premises on a date that suits your working pattern. Call 01244 450 990 to talk through your building and your team.

Our training is delivered on-site at your Southport premises by experienced fire safety professionals. Our trainers bring years of practical experience, know what fire authority inspectors expect and keep sessions lively and interactive, so staff remember what to do when it matters.
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 Victorian resort with a large care sector
Lord Street, with its glass-roofed verandas, is one of the finest Victorian shopping streets in the country. Behind it, many large villas have become hotels, care homes and flats, often with extensions and several staircases.
Southport also hosts conferences and shows, and the championship golf course at Birkdale brings major events. Hotels and venues see large peaks in visitors, and staff need to be confident when the building is at its busiest.
Care homes in large villas
We train staff on horizontal evacuation, evacuation aids and how a small night team can manage safely.
Hotels and guest houses
We cover guest evacuation, night-time staffing and how reception staff should use the alarm panel.
Lord Street shops
Retail staff learn to clear the public calmly and check upper floors, stockrooms and toilets.
We also work across Southport with offices, schools, care homes, hotels, warehouses and HMOs and shared housing, with each session built around the building.
As well as Southport itself, we deliver training in Birkdale, Ainsdale, Churchtown, Crossens, Hillside and Formby.

"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
