The Lenexa Fire Department provides free fire extinguisher training to companies, organizations and groups. Typically, an on-duty fire company will come to your location to provide the training. Training can include classroom lecture with a supportive video and/or practical hands-on training. The classroom training requires a suitable space with a TV or projector capable of playing a DVD.
The hands-on training utilizes a specialized, portable burn prop which burns propane and creates a contained and controlled fire, which is overseen by trained fire service personnel who can extinguish the fire simply by releasing safety controls on a handheld controller. Trainees will be given the chance to approach the fire, accompanied by a firefighter, who will walk you through the actual steps in extinguisher use. Your organization or group will be required to provide the fire extinguishers for the training. Typically, the company that services your onsite extinguishers can provide extras for the training of the same type you would have onsite.
