Fire is a dangerous and deadly force, but we've been training to fight it for centuries. In the olden days, we used wood and oil to simulate fires so firefighters could get a feel for how different types of fires would behave. Nowadays, we have much better tools at our disposal. Portable fire simulators are an incredible asset for firefighters or anyone who wants to train safely and effectively. Before we talk about the benefits of portable fire simulators, let's take a look at how we used to train with wood and oil.
The Traditional Method: Using Wood & Oil For Training
In the past, firefighters would use wood and oil to practice fighting fires in their station houses. They'd set up a wooden structure—typically made from two-by-fours or other scraps they found lying around—and fill it with oil. Then they'd light it up and watch as the flames grew higher and higher until they were finally able to extinguish them with water or foam.
However, there were some issues with this method:
- It's very time-consuming to set up a fire using this method. You have to gather all the materials needed, and then build your fire pit so that you can safely burn them. Even once you've built the fire and gotten it going, you have to wait for it to burn down before you can move on with your training.
- This method uses a lot of fuel—the wood and oil must be replaced after each training session, which means extra time and expense. When you're done with your training session, there's no way to put out the fire—it will continue burning until all of the fuel has been consumed.
- It doesn't provide the same level of control over your fire. You can't adjust its size or intensity, for example, and it can be difficult to keep it going once you've started it.
- The biggest problem with this method is that it requires a lot of skill and experience to do it safely. You have to build your fire pit safely so that the flames don't spread; you must keep an eye on it at all times to make sure that no one or thing gets too close; and you have to know how long each type of wood burns so that you can safely extinguish them when they're done.
- This method is not very environmentally friendly. The smoke from the fire can be harmful to the environment, and burning large amounts of wood and oil will contribute to deforestation.
New Method: Using LPG
It’s time for a change. What if we could make this experience more efficient, less expensive, and safer? That’s where our portable fire simulator comes in! It is a convenient and affordable alternative to traditional fires. It can be used anywhere, anytime. Here are some additional details about the differences between this method and older techniques.
1. It is more efficient than the old methods
Just press a button and it creates a realistic fire in seconds. While some people like to learn by doing, others prefer to watch and listen while someone else does the work. The live fire simulator allows you to do both! You can watch as your staff uses the simulator, then take over when they're ready for practice time. This helps you save time in training and allows you to focus on getting your team up to speed quickly. It also makes it easier for you to assess their skills once they're done with their training session so that you can see where they need more help before sending them out into real-world situations where lives are at stake!
2. It is less expensive to use the live fire simulator
The portable fire simulator costs less than other products on the market because it has been designed specifically for use indoors, outdoors, and even in small spaces. It doesn't need any extra equipment either; just connect it in and turn it on! That's all there is to it! You don't need any special tools or training.
3. It is safer to use the live fire simulator
The portable fire simulator burns with less smoke than traditional methods do because it uses an advanced burner system that produces very little ash and smoke pollution. This means that you are less likely to be affected by toxic fumes and smoke. The portable fire simulator also uses a self-contained fuel system which means that there is no risk of spillage or contamination of the surrounding area.
So, if you're in charge of people who are supposed to know how to use fire extinguishers, this product is for you.
If you're a teacher, this could be your new go-to tool for demonstrating the proper use of fire extinguishers.
If you're an organization that wants to improve its safety practices, this product is perfect for training new hires and bringing experienced employees up to speed on the latest protocols.
And if you work outdoors? Well, then this simulator can help you become a master of fire safety!
