In the event of a building evacuation as a result of a fire, the role of Fire Warden is crucial to the safety of all building occupants. During an evacuation, the Building or Chief Warden represents the New Zealand Fire Service until their arrival and therefore has authority over occupants.

At the successful completion of the course the trainee will be able to demonstrate knowledge of the fire classes and fire suppression techniques, select and implement a strategy to deal with fire.

Fire Warden training includes responsibilities of the Chief Warden, Deputy Chief Warden, and Area/Search Warden, and consists of floor clearance and reporting procedures, action to be taken if you discover a fire, what to do if the alarms are activated, persons requiring assistance, and more.
