This is a full size house which is used for firefighter training (search & rescue and other operations) and public fire safety education. This house features: fire detection systems, residential sprinklers, a smoke machine, various types of doors and windows to practice escape procedures, and a classroom for presentation of films/videos. The structure is built like a ranch house, consisting of: three bedrooms, one bathroom, a kitchen and a living room. Groups are taken through a realistic, simulated fire/smoke situation. Students are taught escape procedures, such as the proper way to use an escape ladder, and what to do when the smoke alarm goes off. We show how smoke travels, as well as about fire itself and its causes.
We continue to expand and improve our firefighter training programs. We presently offer National Fire Academy Outreach Courses, New York State Office of Fire Prevention and Control Fire Service Outreach Courses, and 200 Rockland County Fire Training Courses. We can also develop and present courses to meet your special needs. A course catalog, which provides information about our Fire Training Courses, is available upon request.
The Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA)
requires that you provide training in the use of
fire extinguishers if you provide extinguishers at your facility. To assist the
business community, we have purchased a state-of-the-art portable fire training
simulator which allows us to bring our important fire extinguisher training
program to your site. This simulator, is completely self-contained and allows
our instructors to give your employees "hands-on" practice with all types of
fire extinguishers under safe, controlled live fire conditions. This training
simulator uses clean burning propane to fuel various props that simulate Class
A, Class B, and Class C fires. We can use your fire extinguishers or bring our
own extinguishers for the program.
