Our modern multi-lane road systems mean that often many vehicles are travelling at quite high speeds with a wide variety of vehicle types and cargos. These cargoes can vary from people – buses and coaches to highly flammable fuels, toxic chemicals and even explosives and Radioactive materials. A potentially deadly “cocktail” in the event of a multi- vehicle incident.
The “first responders” must be trained to quickly to identify the potential hazards, contain the situation and save life.
No two incidents are ever the same and the “priorities” of the “first responders” must change to suit the situation. They must be trained to be able to do this in an instant.
A “full highway” trainer will consist of multiple vehicles of differing types which may be relocated to differing locations to train for the many differing types of accident scenario. Fire fighting, extrication techniques and “first aid” training should be included.
At the simplest level, we can provide a “single vehicle” real fire trainer. For example, a Civil Defence or Training organization may decide to order one vehicle type initially and then “expand” to a series of vehicle types over a period of time.
The end result will be a safe, realistic and fully variable highway training system. It will save lives.
