Fire Control
Ignorance is any person’s worse enemy in any situation, especially where people do not acknowledge their incapability. What is worse is where people do not accept that a situation that can develop in their surroundings. A fire is an excellent example of this.
Fire is one of the most known culprits in South Africa, where at least a thousand people annually loose their lives. Most of these people die, due to the inhalation of toxic gases, superheated air and smoke and not necessarily to any physical burn wounds. The purpose of this training course is to inform people of the dangers attached to fire, and how to deal with a basic fire situation. 
The intention is not to make fire fighters out of the delegates, but rather to make them aware of the hazardous condition and how to react as a first line of defense. Even more important, is to teach them what to do when they are no longer in a position to deal with a hazardous situation.
The Objective of the Basic Fire Module is to inform the delegates of the elements of fire, in order for them to understand the subject. This knowledge will enable them to prevent fires from occurring in their environment and to deal with the situation whilst the fire is still in a controllable stage.
