"Side By Side"
Fire Sprinkler Burn Demo Units
|
Two portable 8’ X 8’ rooms are available for use to
demonstrate flashover, fire department response time and quick response fire
sprinklers. One room is protected by a fire sprinkler and the other room is unprotected. The rooms are similarly furnished with items that you collect or donate and fires are started either spontaneously or independently to compare the results after the fire. There is no more dramatic way to demonstrate the devastating speed and effect of flashover. Limited grants are available for use by department meeting the following criteria: Fire Prevention Week Public Education Presentation Demonstration before elected officials Fire service, building inspectors association activity. |
