Fire and extinguisher training: prevention, reaction and enhanced safety for your teams
The fire and extinguisher training offered by SafetyFirst in French-speaking Switzerland prepares the members of your company to react effectively to a fire outbreak, while reinforcing prevention.
Through practical sessions, they will learn to use essential equipment such as fire extinguishers, understand how fire detection systems work and identify safe evacuation routes.
Our experts also train them in safety instructions and how to implement the fire protection plan, while incorporating the key concepts of fire compartmentation to limit the spread of fire.
We offer two variants which are:
- Use of water, lightwater or CO2 fire extinguishers.
- Intervention with Cinema Fire and Smoke
We offer practical and immersive firefighting training, directly on your premises, with a simulated intervention using cinema fire and smoke to recreate realistic and safe conditions. In compliance with AEAI standards, this training enables your staff to familiarise themselves with fire extinguishers and other fire-fighting equipment, while learning how to react effectively in an emergency situation.
Why choose our fire training?
- Realistic simulation: Cinema fire and smoke recreate real fire conditions, giving your teams risk-free hands-on experience.

Optional first aid exercise:
In addition to fire training, we offer the option of incorporating a first aid module. This will enable your staff to simultaneously train in first aid, including the use of a defibrillator, so that they are ready to intervene effectively in the event of an accident, in addition to firefighting.
Give your teams comprehensive, realistic training, and ensure the safety of your premises and employees in the event of a fire or medical emergency.
This training includes simulated exercises to develop the confidence and reflexes needed to manage emergency situations. Ideal for companies in Vaud, Geneva, Fribourg and beyond, it guarantees the safety of your premises and your teams, while complying with Swiss standards.
