This video was created by John Drummey and For over 25 years, Occupli has been at the forefront of fire and rescue training, delivering practical, hands-on courses that prepare teams for the toughest challenges. Whether you’re working on land or at sea, in a factory or on a rig, our training programs are designed to make sure you’re ready when it matters most. In this video, we’re giving you a closer look at how we train individuals and teams in fire safety, sharing insights into the techniques and equipment we use to deliver global-leading training to our clients around the world.
Why Occupli?
At Occupli, our training is about more than ticking boxes. It’s about providing real-world skills that save lives. Our instructors are seasoned professionals, with experience in fire services and fire engineering. Based at our world-class facility near Cork International Airport, we offer training environments that replicate real-life fire and rescue situations. With internationally recognized accreditations like DOT, FETAC, and QQI, we train individuals from industries ranging from shipping and petrochemicals to pharmaceutical and fire services. Our clients trust us because we don’t just teach theory—we give them the practical skills they need to act quickly and confidently in high-pressure situations.
What We Offer:
One of our most exciting recent developments is the VR Fire Trainer, an immersive digital experience that simulates real-life fire scenarios. It’s an incredible tool that allows trainees to experience the heat of the moment—literally—using real fire extinguishers, all within a safe, controlled environment.
We also offer a wide range of specialized courses, designed for different industries and roles:
- Breathing Apparatus Training: Learn how to operate breathing equipment effectively in emergencies.
- Incident Commander Training: Develop the leadership skills to manage emergency response teams during critical incidents.
- Line Rescue & Work at Height: Understand the techniques and safety measures needed for rescues in challenging environments.
- Marine Fire Fighting: Specialized training for fire emergencies on ships and marine structures.
- Confined Space Training: For those working in enclosed environments where hazards can multiply in seconds.
- Fire Warden Training: Prepare your designated fire safety personnel with the skills they need to protect your workplace. No matter your industry or your team’s experience level, we have the right course to meet your needs. From trainee fire fighters to experienced emergency response teams, we ensure every trainee walks away with the knowledge and confidence to act when it counts
What Makes Occupli Fire and Rescue Training Different?
It’s our people. Every one of our trainers has years of real-world experience in fire and rescue. Many of them are fire brigade professionals, and every course we deliver is built around practical, hands-on experience. And it’s our facility. We’ve invested heavily in the kind of equipment that gives our trainees a real sense of what they’ll face in an emergency: flashover units, helicopter simulators, confined space tanks, and more. Safety is our highest priority, but authenticity is a close second
