Burn Simulator Building

The Burn Simulator Building is a state of the art propane live fire simulator. This unique building is designed to expose firefighters to realistic fire and smoke conditions under a computer controlled environment.

Six separate burners allow for fires to be generated at multiple locations either separately, together, or in sequence. The first floor features a living room fire, kitchen fire, and an electrical fire in the garage. On the second floor is a bedroom fire with fires starting either on or behind the bed. A chimney fire and a special ceiling rollover feature are also located in the bedroom.

All fires are fed by propane gas, computer controlled and operated by trained instructors. Multiple independent smoke generators can also be operated by the instructors for an added dimension of a smoke filled environment.

Multiple safety features are built into the system to protect the firefighters. Heat sensors, gas detectors, and emergency stop buttons are located throughout the building. If any of the safety features are activated the fires immediately shut down, fans are turned on and all smoke is quickly evacuated..
