Environment, Health & Safety offers fire extinguisher training at no cost to university staff and students. To complete fire extinguisher training:

  1. Take the online fire extinguisher awareness course
  2. Set up an in-person training session (using a laser based simulator)

In-person training is available at EHS (2-10 Materials Management Building) or in your workplace -- we'll come to you!
