Welcome to the Minnesota Telecom Alliance Safety Programs course on Fire Safety: Prevention, Preparedness, and Response. Fires can strike anywhere—whether in the workplace, at home, or out in the community. The good news is that most fires can be prevented if we understand how they start and take the right precautions. In this course, you’ll learn about common fire hazards, how to prevent them, the different types of fires and extinguishers, and how to correctly use an extinguisher with the PASS technique. Most importantly, you’ll discover what actions to take during an emergency to keep yourself and others safe. The goal is simple: protect lives, reduce risks, and ensure safety for everyone.
