Fire-fighters bravely face unknown hazards daily; risking their lives to keep us safe. By definition, every emergency situation is serious, unexpected and dangerous. Fire-fighters must undergo rigorous and frequent training to ensure they are adequately prepared for every scenario.
SEFtec Group produces a wide range of fire-fighter training props:
Custom fire props for aviation, marine, automotive, and any other training
Real or artificial flames and smoke
Choice of fuels (Class A, Class B, Class C) including clean-burning propane
Stand-alone props or complete training structures
Integrated safety systems including data logging, alarms, and automatic safety shutdowns
Over 100 installations worldwide
One recent installation by SEFtec Group is a minibus fire prop for Petans Ltd in the United Kingdom.
The SEFtec minibus fire prop allows for multiple training scenarios.
What is a minibus fire prop?
The SEFtec minibus fire prop is a life-sized replica of a minibus with five gas-fueled fires integrated into it. The prop features hinged and sliding passenger doors as well as rear luggage compartment. The cabin interior includes a drivers seat complete with steering column, front passenger seat and four rows of rear cabin seating with over-head luggage racks.
The five fires in the SEFtec minibus fire prop are:
Engine fire
Wheel fire
Steering console fire
Seat fire
Baggage fire
These five fires, coupled with the realistic cabin and doors allow numerous firefighting and search and rescue scenarios to be enacted.
The five fires scenarios are gas-fueled, which allows for complete control of the scenario. From a safe distance the instructor can start and stop each fire scenario, control the intensity of the flames and control fire spread to secondary fires. The prop comes complete with integrated safety systems that monitor the prop and can automatically shut down scenarios in an emergency.
Who needs a minibus fire prop?
The SEFtec minibus fire prop is an ideal tool for training firefighters who attend road traffic collisions (RTCs). The scale and variety of scenarios achievable with this one fire prop can provide a challenge to any firefighter from a novice to a veteran.
Some of the training that can be achieved with this prop includes:
Hazard identification and securing a perimeter
Coordinated fire attack
Safe approach and flame bending
Advanced firefighting scenarios
Realistic search and rescue scenarios
