Second-Response Fire Team Member
Two days to train the teams that take over from first responders when a fire exceeds the capacity of an extinguisher: reconnaissance, use of hose reels and the site’s fixed systems, rescue and making installations safe while waiting for the public emergency services. The practical part, on live fires, is run with an equipped partner trainer.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between first and second response?
The first-response team member acts alone or in a pair with an extinguisher, in the first minutes. The second-response team member belongs to an established team, uses the hose reels and fixed means, and prepares the arrival of the public emergency services.
Do the exercises take place on our site?
Theory and the reconnaissance of the means take place on your site. Live fires require a suitable area and specific equipment: the partner trainer organises them at your site where possible, otherwise on an exercise ground.
Are self-contained breathing apparatus covered?
The course presents their role and limits. If your team is equipped with them, specific training in wearing them should be added; its content is defined with you according to your equipment.
How often should the team train?
Skills fade quickly. Regular drills on your own means are needed between two courses; their frequency is set with you according to the site’s risks and your internal or insurance requirements.
