Fire Warden Training

Fire safety plan training or fire warden training is the process of educating building occupants about the procedures and guidelines outlined in a fire safety plan. This includes information about how to recognize the signs of a fire, activate the building's fire alarm system, and safely evacuate the building in the event of a fire. In addition, fire safety plan training includes an overview of the fire protection and life safety systems installed in the building, how they work, and how they protect the occupants of the building. You won't see a fire door the same way after my training. 

Fire Wardens & Supervisory staff

The Saskatchewan Fire Code requires that supervisory staff (fire wardens, floor wardens, and other designated staff) be trained in the emergency procedures before being delegated responsibility. 

Note that supervisory staff are those individuals who have some delegated responsibility for the fire safety of other occupants under the fire safety plan. 

Fire Emergency Procedures 

The Saskatchewan Fire Code outlines the minimum fire emergency procedures that must be provided in the fire safety plan. These procedures must be provided in every fire safety plan. 

• Procedures for sounding the fire alarm,

• Procedures for notifying the fire department,

• Instructing occupants on procedures to follow when the fire alarm sounds,

• Procedures for evacuating occupants, including special procedures for persons requiring assistance,

• Measures for confining, controlling, and extinguishing a fire. 

Fire Emergency Procedures in High Buildings 

In addition to the noted fire emergency procedures above, high buildings must also provide training for fire wardens in the following: 

• The procedures for the use of the voice communication system,

• The procedures for the use of elevators,

• Information on the action to be taken by supervisory staff in initiating any smoke control or other fire emergency systems installed in a building in the event of fire until the fire department arrives,

• Instructions for the operation of the smoke control and other fire emergency systems.
