There are numerous videos on fire training which cover the salient points of this subject matter, some of which are "story" based to gain the attention of the audience. It is very important to include all members of staff in such training, and to encourage a member of staff who is enthuasiastic to initiate exercises. It is very important also that staff should appreciate the weight of the extinguishers as without the handling experience an accident may prevail. The training should also be such that it is extended to the home as well as the workplace. Many brigades have fire safety departments that provide literature to enhance such training.

Setting up a room or space with obvious hazards eg potential ignition sources poor housekeeping etc.Can be used as a Hazard spotting excercise, usefull for encouraging good basic fire prevention practice and measures.

Ensure there is some practical training. Let most put out a fire in an outside location using e.g. solvent in a tray. Most fire extinguisher service agents (particularly the smaller ones will assist at low cost ~£10pp)
Demonstrate water onto a solvent fire similar to water on a chip pan. If your attendees feel the heat and almost singe their eyebrows they will appreciate the dangers better.

Explain your requirement to your local fire service training officer and ask if he'd like to come and do some practical rescue training using real members of the public.
If you ask nicely they might also bring a smoke generator along too.
Being taken out of a sixth floor window and cariied down a turntable ladder (you will remember to do a risk assessment, won't you?!) certainly adds interest!

what about some 'controlled' fires and actual fire extinguishment!
Discuss with your local fire and rescue service, they will be able to assist at reasonable cost...
