Question Detail Fire Training The question was posted by Tanja Peip on 26/02/2010 15:05:47   Hi, all- has anybody got any ideas on how to make fire training more interactive and exciting to maximise participants' understanding? At the moment it's more a matter of PowerPoint or DVD- trainer talks, workforce listens (or not). I look forward to any ideas or suggestions.

Elaine 01/03/2010 Elaine Cowan We are just about to run 2 courses on wednesday with an external company who are going to create a real fire for the delegates to put out. They are ex fire staff and the course is fairly cost effective. I can let you know how it went after the event if you are interested and have budget - 30 people in 2 sessions of 3 hours for £525.
