The purpose of the Fire fighting course from SMEClabs is to provide firefighting knowledge and skills to meet the minimum job performance requirements for fire officers. Candidates must demonstrate the knowledge and skills necessary to function safely and effectively as an integral member of a firefighter team. When engaged in hazardous activities, the Fire Officer I work under direct supervision of a senior company officer and as a team leader.

Fire is the most common hazard for any workplace be it a large manufacturing or a process plant or a high rise building full of employees or even a public place like a mall or an airport or a metro station. It is a legal requirement for an employer to ensure that the workplace is safe of all fire hazards and the employees are well protected in case of any fire incident.

Unfortunately, employers are sometimes not aware of their legal duties or are negligent towards it. Fire incidents could have huge consequences for the organization, apart from stoppage of work; it could also create legal complications for the employer which may include huge fines and/ or imprisonment and even withdrawal of license to operate the facility.
