scenarios will be tailored to the customer’s needs. Each participant
will be required to use and develop the skills to successfully create and
maintain a fire free evacuation area without the aid of manual
termination. With this type of training, once the fire is lit it will be
the firefighter that controls the fire until total suppression is
achieved.
A typical drill will involve an 600 ltr
spill of tekflame fuel over water into a 555 m2 containment
area. As an alternative, the entire training area of 1110 m2
can be used. The fire will be extinguished with 6% AFFF (and the option of
Purple K powder).
Participants will have the opportunity for
hands-on experience operating:
