Burn Prop

We designed a building that will provide flexibility as well as the ability to simulate realistic training evolutions.  We have attempted to achieve this by designing a structure that has long hallways and large rooms. 

• The long hallways will help simulate long hose lays into structures to find the seat of a fire. 

• The large rooms will accommodate a large group of firefighters needed when an instructor and a class are in the rooms observing the various stages of fire development.

• The two stories will allow us to complete ladder and roof operation evolutions, while also allowing us to simulate basement fires by entering on the 2^nd story.

1^st Floor Layout

The first floor will allow us to have three separate controlled live burn areas of different sizes.

 

 

2^nd Floor Layout

 The second floor contains an additional burn room (to simulate second story room and contents fire) and a large “non- burn” room.

 

The burn rooms will be lined with special tiles called "System 203™" provided by a company called High Temperature Linings (HTL) out of Virginia.  System 203™ is an interlocking refractory tile and encapsulated insulating material. System 203™ shields and protects the building  structures from the horrendous environments associated with live fire training. System 203™ is able to withstand repeated high temperatures and extreme thermal shock created during fire extinguishment training evolutions without spalling, cracking, splintering or other degradation.
