Where space for a “Fire Training System” is limited, such as for a "Containerized or Mobile Unit" it is particularly important to get the design right to incorporate as many training features as possible without compromising safety.

Another problem is the effect of the “thermal shock” caused by repeated and frequent high heat cycles. We at Phoenix use only “tried and tested” specialist materials and design to ensure that our “Fire Training Systems” continue to function for an extended period.

In terms of “regulations”, in Europe at least, a specific standard refers to “interior fire places” – DIN 14097 Part 2. We believe that this standard should be regarded as a “minimum” requirement and design the performance of our internal fire training system to exceed this specification.

A wide variety of “fire training props” can be installed in the structure such as stairwell fire, kitchen fire, sofa fire, curtain fire, bed fire and wardrobe fire.

Computer controlled selection of the Fire Scenario can enable the fire to “grow” or “spread” or even enable a “flashover” should incorrect technique be applied. Clear monitoring of the “trainees” in terms of location, performance and vital signs should all be included. The “Firebird” Fire Training System may be “containerized” or fully mobile and installed on the back of a trailer.
