That is a great idea. Lots of people learn CPR. Perhaps there is a market for a school that teaches basic, hands-on safety skills.
-How to put out a cooker fire with a fire blanket.
-How to use a fire extinguisher.
-How to cut a seat belt.
-How to break a window.
etc
Could be quite a fun day out. I would definitely pay for something like that for me and my family.
- potato3732842 11mo agoYour local boy scouts almost certainly have a working relationship with their local fire department that results in the FD taking them to wherever they train once every couple years and going through all those motions and more. A 5lb dry extinguisher in the right hands can put out one of those oval stock tanks full of burning diesel, twice.
- mcpherrinm 11mo agoWe had (optional) safety training when I worked at Square, which included CPR training, going over office evacuation procedures, etc. One of the most fun parts was they had a virtual fire extinguisher training, which involved basically a video game fire extinguisher controller to put out a fire on a tv. It’s definitely not as exciting as using a real fire extinguisher training, but can also be done in an office meeting room.
- stouset 11mo agoI’m still upset they didn’t let us start fires in the meeting rooms to practice using real extinguishers. Miss working with you!
- hermitcrab 11mo agoVirtual training is better than nothing. But I don't think it really compares doing IRL.
