Advanced Firefighting (TEEX)

Advanced Firefighting is a Texas A&M Engineering Extension Service (TEEX) certified course designed for onshore industrial fire team members. The course provides delegates with the knowledge and practical skills required to respond safely and effectively to workplace fire emergencies as part of an organised fire team.

Training combines classroom sessions with practical firefighting exercises. Delegates will cover fire science, fire suppression equipment, personal protective equipment, self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA), extinguishing agents, foam application, hose handling, fire streams, firefighting tactics, casualty recovery, and live-fire response.

Practical exercises include team-based firefighting using hose lines, water, foam, and SCBA. Fire props may include Class A, B, and C fire scenarios, pans with and without obstacles, paint lockers, LPG impinging jets, XMAS tree fires, leaking flange fires, and large diameter hydrocarbon storage tank fires.

This course is intended for personnel who may be required to respond to industrial fire emergencies as part of an onshore fire team, including:

• Industrial fire team members
• Emergency response team members
• HSE personnel with firefighting responsibilities
• Operational personnel assigned to fire response duties
• Supervisors or team leaders involved in fire emergency response

The course is delivered over 3 days at PT Samson Tiara’s Cilegon training facility. Training includes classroom instruction, practical equipment handling, team-based firefighting drills, SCBA use, casualty recovery exercises, and live-fire scenarios.

Upon successful completion of this course, delegates should be deemed competent in advanced firefighting techniques within the scope of the course.

Delegates will develop knowledge and practical capability in:

• Understanding fire science and fire behaviour.
• Applying firefighting tactics as both fire team members and team leaders.
• Selecting and using portable fire extinguishers safely and effectively.
