Training for Partner Organisations 2024 - 2025

Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service offers Home Fire Safety Training to partner organisations. We are currently offering two options.

Home Fire Safety Assessment (HFSA) Training

Option one is a 90-minute online option delivered on Microsoft Teams to equip partners to identify people at increased risk of fire, amongst their service users, and refer them for a Home Fire Safety Assessment (HFSA). HFSAs are home visits to assess and reduce the risk of fire in the home.

Home Fire Safety Assessment (HFSA) Training Plus

Option two is a half-day session delivered at our Safety Centre in Bury. It provides the same learning as option one but also provides learners with an immersive input on fire safety in the home, including the five main causes of fire, bedtime routines and escape planning. This is delivered in a mock home environment at the Safety Centre.

We encourage partner staff to attend the training sessions advertised on this page. If your organisation has staff who cannot attend the scheduled dates, or you would like us to run a session just for your organisation or team, please email training@manchesterfire.gov.uk. We will review requests on a case by case basis. Requests for the virtual 90 minute session for 20+ staff with specific dates detailed are more likely to be approved. Requests for 10+ staff will also be considered but we will look to open up 20-30 further spaces on your session, to other partners.
