Confidence in an Emergency

At NPG Fire Safety, we deliver professional Fire Warden Training that goes beyond ticking a box—it’s about giving your nominated staff the practical knowledge and confidence they need to take control in an emergency. Whether your building is a small office, a large commercial site, a care setting, or a holiday complex, our training ensures your Fire Wardens understand their responsibilities and are fully prepared to support safe evacuation procedures.

UK fire safety legislation requires that all businesses appoint a competent person to take responsibility for fire safety arrangements. In most cases, this means one or more trained Fire Wardens or Fire Marshals. These individuals play a vital role in both day-to-day fire safety and during an emergency, where calm leadership and quick decision-making can help to protect lives.

Clear, Practical Fire Warden Training

Our Fire Warden Training is designed to be clear, practical, and highly relevant to your working environment. We tailor each session to reflect the specific risks and layout of your premises, so that your Fire Wardens are trained in procedures that are directly applicable to your site. Training can be delivered on-site at your location, or at our Burton-in-Kendal training facility, depending on what suits your team best. We also offer monthly public training sessions, ideal for businesses with just one or two Fire Wardens to train.

Each session covers everything your Fire Wardens need to know—from understanding their legal duties to supporting evacuations, checking escape routes, and reporting hazards.

Fire Warden Training can be arranged for groups of up to 15 people, and we are happy to tailor the session length and content to suit your team. Whether you’re training new Fire Wardens or refreshing existing knowledge, we’ll provide the training you need to stay compliant and protect your people.

Why Choose Face-to-Face Fire Training?

While online training may be convenient, it cannot replicate the real-life experience of standing in front of a fire. Our experiential approach to fire training enables attendees to:

  • Feel the heat of a live fire
  • Smell the smoke
  • Hear and handle real extinguishers
  • Understand the sensation of controlling and extinguishing a fire

This immersive training style helps participants retain vital information, develop confidence under pressure, and make better decisions in a real emergency. It’s the difference between reading about fire safety and actually applying it when it matters most. What makes our Fire Warden training stand out is the practical focus we bring to every session.

Our training also highlights the day-to-day responsibilities of a Fire Warden—tasks that are often overlooked but are essential for maintaining good fire safety standards. These include preventative and protective measures to take against fire, helping to ensure the overall safety culture of the business remains strong.

We keep our courses straightforward, practical, and free from unnecessary jargon. Our trainers are experienced fire safety professionals with a deep understanding of the real-world challenges Fire Wardens face. Attendees leave with the confidence to act when it counts—and the knowledge to prevent many fire-related risks before they arise.

Hands-on Fire Extinguisher Training that Builds Real Confidence

Our practical training uses live controlled fire scenarios, allowing attendees to feel the heat, hear the noise of the extinguisher in action, and understand the dynamics of extinguishing a fire under pressure. This realistic setting not only reinforces the theory taught during the session but also builds genuine confidence. It’s an experience that stays with people and gives them the awareness to make safe decisions in real emergencies.

By including this hands-on element, we help your team move beyond the classroom and into a space where they’re actively involved and engaged in their own learning. It prepares them to act quickly and effectively, reducing the risk of escalation in the early stages of a fire and supporting the continuity of your business.

Whether you’re booking a full on-site course or sending staff to one of our monthly public training sessions, you can be assured that our fire warden training is delivered by qualified professionals using safe, proven techniques.

It’s a key part of what makes our training so effective—and why so many businesses trust NPG Fire Safety to prepare their teams for when it matters most.

Choosing NPG Fire Safety means working with a company that is highly experienced and committed to delivering fire safety training that truly prepares your team. We’re an independent business, focused on providing high-quality and cost-effective services. Just the support you need, delivered by people who know fire safety inside and out.
