|
The Burn Simulator Building is a state of the
art propane live fire simulator. This unique building is
designed to expose firefighters to realistic fire and smoke
conditions under a computer controlled environment. Six
separate burners allow for fires to be generated at multiple
locations either separately, together, or in sequence. The
first floor features a living room fire, kitchen fire, and
an electrical fire in the garage. On the second floor is a
bedroom fire with fires starting either on or behind the
bed. A chimney fire and a special “ceiling rollover”
feature are also located in the bedroom. All fires are fed
by propane gas, computer controlled and operated by trained
instructors. Multiple independent smoke generators can also
be operated by the instructors for an added dimension of a
smoke filled environment. Multiple safety features are
built into the system to protect the firefighters. Heat
sensors, gas detectors, and emergency stop buttons are
located throughout the building. If any of the safety
features are activated the fires immediately shut down, fans
are turned on and all smoke is quickly evacuated.
