Fire Safety Essentials

A fire extinguisher only helps if you know how to use it, which one to pick, and when to put it down and leave. Fire Safety Essentials teaches all three in a VR experience set in an industrial warehouse.

You start with a small fire on a stack of wood panels and learn the PASS method hands-on: pull the pin, aim at the base of the fire, squeeze the trigger and sweep from side to side, standing 6–8 feet back behind a marked line. Next, you see the four situations where an extinguisher is the wrong answer: a fire bigger than you, thick smoke, an exit about to be cut off, and a fire you can’t identify.

Then you learn the five fire classes with a simple mnemonic, "Always Bring Coffee, Don’t Kick": Ash, Boil, Circuit, Dense metals and Kitchen. For each class you match the right extinguisher to the fuel and put the fire out yourself.

WHAT YOU PRACTISE

• The PASS method on a live fire, with a guided safe-distance line
• Recognising when to evacuate instead of fighting the fire
• Class A, B, C, D and K fires and what fuels each one
• Choosing between water, foam, CO2, dry powder and wet chemical extinguishers
• Raising the fire alarm first, and why power must be cut on an electrical fire

CHECK YOUR KNOWLEDGE

An 11-question quiz tests extinguisher choice, fire classes, the PASS steps and when to walk away.
