Exercise #1:

In addition to the classroom theory sessions, participants will engage in practical exercises as part of Exercise 1. The specific learning objectives for this exercise include:

• Successfully extinguishing four fires individually using a 30 lb. dry chemical extinguisher. Participants will apply their knowledge of fire extinguisher usage and techniques to effectively suppress and control fires.
• Successfully collaborating as a team member to extinguish two fires using 30 lb. fire extinguishers. Participants will demonstrate their ability to work together, communicate effectively, and coordinate their efforts in a team setting to achieve successful fire extinguishment.

By completing Exercise 1, participants will gain hands-on experience and practical skills in utilizing fire extinguishers to respond to different fire scenarios. They will develop confidence and competence in their ability to safely and effectively combat fires, both individually and as part of a team.
