Our Level 3 Award in the Servicing and Maintenance of Portable Fire Extinguishers is underway in Telford this week, delivered by Joe Newman.

Need to train several members of your team? The British Fire Consortium can arrange private in-house training at your own premises for suitable groups.

Our Level 3 Fire Extinguisher and Fire Extinguisher Refresher programmes can be delivered on-site, making it easier to train your team together without the need for multiple employees to travel to an external venue.

It’s a practical option for businesses looking to develop their team’s skills while keeping training convenient and relevant to their workforce.

Interested in arranging in-house training for your team? Get in touch with the BFC Secretary to discuss your requirements, delegate numbers and logistics.

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us in Windermere for the British Fire Consortium’s 150th meeting!

It was a great day bringing members together, with plenty packed into the programme.

We were joined by Professor Paul Christensen, who spoke about lithium-ion battery fires, EN 3-11 and the new Class L, covering some important developments and considerations for the fire industry.

The afternoon saw members take to the water for a boat trip on Lake Windermere, followed by an evening dinner and entertainment from “Last One to Laugh.”

Thank you to everyone who attended and helped make such a significant milestone meeting one to remember.
We’re already looking forward to the next one!

Our Level 3 Fire Door Inspection course at Biggin Hill is taking place this week, delivered by Lee.

Over two days delegates develop the knowledge to assess a fire doorset against its certification, identify and interpret defects, and record their findings to a standard that will stand up to scrutiny, gaining an EAL Level 3 qualification on completion.

This course consistently fills quickly and this date is fully booked. The next available place is 2 November at Telford.

We wish all delegates attending this week every success.

4 days to to go until the 2026 British Fire Consortium AGM!

For a great many of our member companies, this is the one occasion in the year when they are in a room with everyone else doing the same work, and it is consistently the part people tell us they value most.

We are looking forward to welcoming everyone to Windermere this week!

The British Fire Consortium has reached a fantastic milestone - our 150th meeting.

To mark the occasion, we sat down with Graham Newman, BFC President and long-serving member, to publish a new article on our website looking back at the history behind this milestone and the importance of bringing people across the fire industry together.

It’s a great opportunity to reflect on how far the BFC has come and the continued value of collaboration, knowledge sharing and supporting our members.

Fire door inspection is a discipline in its own right, and one where the standard of the inspection record matters as much as the inspection itself.

Our Level 3 Fire Door Inspection course is running at Telford this week, delivered by Lee. Over two days delegates develop the knowledge to assess a fire doorset against its certification, identify defects and record findings to a standard that stands up to scrutiny, gaining an EAL Level 3 qualification on completion.

Just two weeks to go until the 2026 British Fire Consortium AGM! 🔥

The BFC AGM is a great opportunity for our members to come together, share experiences and connect with others across the fire industry.

For many of our member companies, it’s one of the few opportunities each year to be in the same room with others working in the same industry — and it’s something we know is highly valued.

We’re looking forward to seeing everyone in Windermere in just two weeks!

Our Fire Door Inspection Training ran in Cambridge last week, and Lee Richards, one of our board members and one of our trainers, led the group through it.

Thank you to everyone who came along and got so involved!
