Extinguisher Class
The Airport Fire Department conducts two levels of fire extinguisher classes for businesses and tenants located at Paine Field Airport.
  • Businesses that dispense fuel need to have their employees trained in the proper use of the large extinguishers carried and used by fuelers. The Fire Department will provide this class upon request.
  • Businesses that have small, wall-mounted extinguishers for use by employees should provide training in their use. The Airport Fire Department will conduct hands-on extinguisher training classes for Airport businesses and tenants. The department tries to present these classes when a group of five or more can be assembled.

Following completion of the extinguisher class, attendees are given a Certificate of Completion.
