Fire Training Props:
Dry Chemical
Dry chemical props provide effective incipient stage fire fighting practice.
Beginning students learn, and experienced firefighters relearn the knock down potential of the most available piece of fire fighting equipment, the portable fire extinguisher.
A 30-pound BC type extinguisher is usually used. Some groups may prefer a 20-pound extinguisher, which is also available.
The three-dimensional slide prop and a standard, flammable-liquid locker present fire-in-depth scenarios. The pit allows students to extinguish a pool fire.
