Pro-Seeds Launches Online Fire Prevention Course in September 2025

Pro-Seeds Launches Online Fire Prevention Course

In a significant step towards enhancing fire safety education, Pro-Seeds Co., led by CEO Takane Hanada, has announced the introduction of an online fire management refresher course, set to commence in September 2025. This course aims to provide fire management officials with the necessary knowledge to stay updated on the latest regulations and fire incidents.

Background for the Launch of the Refresher Course

For some time, numerous requests have been made to Pro-Seeds by fire departments and the general public, seeking online access not only to new courses but also to refresher courses. Refresher courses are crucial for individuals already designated as fire managers, who need to revisit and update their understanding of current laws and fire case studies. However, the nature of these courses necessitates frequent updates in response to regulatory changes and past incidents, highlighting the importance of a solid operational structure.

Thanks to the cooperation of retired Prevention Division officers and leaders in firefighting research, as well as equipment manufacturers, Pro-Seeds has finally prepared the groundwork for this online refresher course, which has now been officially launched.

Practical Content Based on Expertise

The structure and production of the course involved the close collaboration of experienced former fire department prevention personnel, who played a pivotal role in the planning and content development stages. It not only covers recent changes in fire safety laws and fire summaries but also incorporates necessary concepts from a practical viewpoint to effectively prevent fires, reflecting significant contemporary societal changes.

To ensure a comprehensive understanding, historical fire case studies and the context of legislative changes have been meticulously investigated. This effort includes avoiding technical jargon to engage participants, making complex information accessible while clearly presenting underlying reasons and implications.

A downloadable text resource is provided for participants to revisit at any time, which incorporates diagrams and illustrations to explain the fire cases and key learning points addressed in the lectures.

Supervision by Leading Expert in Fire Research: Ai Sekizawa

The refresher course is designed for individuals already serving as fire managers, focusing on the key points of law revisions and practical lessons derived from recent fire incidents. To adapt to these essential characteristics, Ai Sekizawa, a prominent figure in fire prevention research and chairman of the Japan Fire Prevention Technicians Association, serves as the course supervisor. Sekizawa has ensured that the content addresses vital questions about the significance of current teachings and their practical applications in the field.

Her oversight extends to every detail, including the photographs and narration scripts used in the course videos.

In addition, the course addresses changes in fire prevention due to trends such as the evolving nature of fire-prone buildings and the impact of free-address office setups on evacuations, as well as increasing incidents involving carbon dioxide fire extinguishing systems and lithium-ion battery fires. The content has been extensively refined for clarity and effectiveness.

Hands-On Guidance Using Real Footage

To deepen participants' understanding, the refresher course includes practical video demonstrations of various fire equipment operations like fire extinguishers and fire hydrants, produced with the assistance of manufacturing partners.

In partnership with Nippon Dry Chemical Co., the videos illustrate critical operational methods, safety tips, and emergency procedures to provide a realistic training experience for online participants.

Future Developments

As Pro-Seeds continues to expand its reach, fire departments across regions, from Kagoshima Prefecture to Akita Prefecture, are increasingly adopting this online course. The organization remains committed to enhancing course content and user-friendliness while ensuring that fire departments nationwide collaborate to ensure that accessible online fire management training becomes a standard option for the public.
