Train Your Team to Prevent Home Fires
Home fires are a major risk for seniors—especially those with mobility limits, vision or hearing loss, or cognitive impairments. In many regions, house fires remain one of the top causes of injury and death among older adults, making fire safety training essential for any home care agency looking to protect its clients and community.
The Fire Prevention & Safety Training Course teaches caregivers how to identify hazards, install and use fire safety equipment, check electrical risks, and create safe evacuation plans tailored to senior needs. By ensuring caregivers understand local fire risks, codes, and common home safety issues, you reduce the chance of emergencies and strengthen client trust.
This training helps your agency deliver safer, more reliable care while meeting local safety expectations and boosting your reputation. Equip your caregivers with the confidence to act fast, prevent fires before they start, and protect seniors, families, and homes across your service area.
