Training Areas:
Propane Fire Training Area
The Propane Fire Training Area is made up of a series of live fire props. All valves are live and can be shut off by an instructor remotely, but they also require the firefighter to close the valve to turn off the fuel source.
Along with the Propane Area, there is a Propane Building that stores hoses, nozzles, flints, etc. The propane tanks can be found right outside of the building under the canopy. The key can be found on the same ring as the Propane Building.
The props include the following:
- 1,000-gallon Propane tank with two valves and a relief valve controlled by the instructor.
- 40 lb. and 100 lb. Propane Tanks with separate valves.
- Multi-valve prop with three separate valves and types of fire.
- Small Propane tank with a single Propane valve and pipe leak.
- Two valve pipe leak, which simulates closing an active system by isolation both sides of the fire.
- Small Pan and obstacle fire simulating a spill fire in containment and an active leak.
- Propane Tree with a single valve isolation at the base of the tree.
- Small Dumpster fire.
- Large Dumpster fire.
- Vehicle fire.
The Dumpster Props have grating installed at the water level to allow for the use of trash hooks to manipulate the material during extinguishment training.
The Vehicle Fire Prop can be set up with various types of configurations including separate compartment fires each controlled separately by the instructor. The vehicle is constructed with a fire wall between each compartment. The vehicles can also burn Class A materials.
