A lot of fire safety courses are available online for parents, with curriculums offered for age groups such as little kids one to four years old, big kids five to nine years old, and teenagers. Each children's fire safety course provides lesson plans that include what to do and not do at home, at play or when going somewhere. These courses teach children proper fire safety procedures and things to know during a fire.
Many fire departments provide fire safety courses for adults. Most focus on identifying fire hazards, learning how to handle different fire extinguishers and performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) techniques. It's particularly important for adults to know how to extinguish different types of fires, i.e., a grease fire as opposed to a wood-burning fire.
Fire safety courses for company safety managers may be given by city fire marshals, but a lot of these courses are found at local community colleges. Safety rules and regulations change every year and knowing them is the job of a company safety manager. These courses generally have prerequisites and students already have experience in fire safety prior to attending.
Fire and safety engineers must complete fire safety courses that last an entire college semester. Those seeking jobs as safety managers will take several courses in fire safety, but these courses are for students seeking to become firemen. They include information about fire safety, but also cover every aspect of fighting a fire, including types of fires, firefighting equipment, and building and structure fires.
