In March, we&#8217;re diving into real fire! Simulated fire is ideal for training in locations where real fire is not an option, offering safe, controlled training scenarios. But training a professional in firefighting without ever experiencing real fire? That&#8217;s not possible. That&#8217;s why there are solutions that incorporate real fire, both for Workplce First Aid and Fire Safety and firefighter training. We&#8217;d love to tell you more!<\/strong>\n\t<h2><strong>Workplace First Aid and Fire Safety Training<\/strong><\/h2>\n<h3>Fire Extinguisher Trainers<\/h3>\n<p>For practicing procedures related to extinguishing a small fire, real fire is not immediately necessary. A Workplace First Aid and Fire Safety learns to raise the alarm, evacuate, perform safe door procedures, and assess a fire hazard. However, ultimately, facing real fire is essential-the threat and heat are integral to the training. This is where a fire trainer comes in.<\/p>\n<p>Our gas-powered fire trainers create controlled real fire, with the trainer having full control over the fire source. We offer several options, each with specific benefits:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li data-leveltext=\"\uf0b7\" data-font=\"Symbol\" data-listid=\"1\" data-list-defn-props=\"{\" aria-setsize=\"-1\" data-aria-posinset=\"1\" data-aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fireware.nl\/en\/product\/hybrid-fire-extinguisher-trainer\/\"><strong>Hybrid Fire Extinguisher Trainer:<\/strong><\/a> Ignition via a lighting lance. The trainer decides whether the fire extinguishes during an attempt. This allows for the simulation of both solid material and liquid fires. Since the Hybrid has no electronic components, powder extinguishing is also possible. This makes the Hybrid ideal for training on both solid and liquid fires.\n<\/li>\n<li data-leveltext=\"\uf0b7\" data-font=\"Symbol\" data-listid=\"1\" data-list-defn-props=\"{\" aria-setsize=\"-1\" data-aria-posinset=\"1\" data-aria-level=\"1\"><strong data-start=\"74\" data-end=\"119\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fireware.nl\/en\/product\/solid-fire-extinguisher-trainer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">FireWare Solid Fire Extinguisher Trainer<\/a>:<\/strong> Easily simulate a solid fuel fire. With the optional ceramic wood blocks, you can create the look of a real fire pit.

Thanks to its built-in battery, it is quickly deployable. A Vesta supports two simultaneous fire sources by connecting add-ons to the auxiliary output. Ideal for more complex scenarios.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li data-leveltext=\"\uf0b7\" data-font=\"Symbol\" data-listid=\"1\" data-list-defn-props=\"{\" aria-setsize=\"-1\" data-aria-posinset=\"3\" data-aria-level=\"1\"><b><\/b><b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fireware.nl\/en\/product-categorie\/extinguisher-trainer-add-on\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Vesta add-ons<\/a>: <\/b>The Vesta offers a wide range of add-ons. These easy-to-place attachments allow training for very specific scenarios. Place a computer, microwave, deep fryer, or electric motor on the Vesta to expose trainees to realistic workplace hazards. Additional add-ons can be connected to the auxiliary output, such as a burning gas cylinder or a leaking gas pipe. Larger add-ons, like a washer-dryer combo or gas stove, allow for an integrated fire spread scenario-for example, from a stovetop to an extractor hood. With these add-ons, you can easily create complex scenarios. Think of a burning gas cylinder next to a burning electric motor-where do you prioritize, and how do you handle it?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\t\t<iframe width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/1049684078?hl=nl&#038;cc_lang_pref=nl&#038;cc_load_policy=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\t\n\t\t<iframe width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/168191741?hl=nl&#038;cc_lang_pref=nl&#038;cc_load_policy=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\t\n\t\t<iframe width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/137808542?hl=nl&#038;cc_lang_pref=nl&#038;cc_load_policy=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\t\n\t<h3><strong>Small extinguishers<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Workplace First Aid and Fire Safety training revolves around small extinguishing devices. The Neptune system provides a reusable solution: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fireware.nl\/en\/product-category\/training-fire-extinguishers\/\">refillable training fire extinguishers<\/a> and a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fireware.nl\/en\/product\/neptune-filling-unit\/\">Filling Unit<\/a>. By filling extinguishers with a mix of water, air, and training foam, you simulate a foam extinguisher. Add a CO\u2082 canister and remove the foam, and you have a CO\u2082 extinguisher simulation. This saves costs and is more sustainable. This system is ideal for companies where emergency responders regularly train with different types of extinguishers, such as offices, schools, and production facilities. <\/p>\n\t\t<iframe width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/923736957?hl=nl&#038;cc_lang_pref=nl&#038;cc_load_policy=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\t\n\t<h2><b>Fire training<\/b> <\/h2>\n<h3>Hybrid staging<\/h3>\n<p>Combining simulated fire with real fire? That&#8217;s what we call hybrid staging! The goal: to make trainees really believe in the situation. Excitement and adrenaline are crucial for a realistic learning experience. Real fire triggers the right response and makes simulated smoke and flames more convincing, even for experienced firefighters.     <\/p>\n<p>With a gas-fired extinguisher trainer such as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fireware.nl\/en\/product\/vesta-fire-extinguisher-trainer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Vesta<\/a>, the exercise remains controllable. For example:  <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li data-leveltext=\"\uf0b7\" data-font=\"Symbol\" data-listid=\"2\" data-list-defn-props=\"{\"335552541\":1,\"335559685\":720,\"335559991\":360,\"469769226\":\"Symbol\",\"469769242\":[8226],\"469777803\":\"left\",\"469777804\":\"\uf0b7\",\"469777815\":\"multilevel\"}\" aria-setsize=\"-1\" data-aria-posinset=\"1\" data-aria-level=\"1\">Place a Vesta under the hood of a scrap car and place it against a building. The car is burning, and the fire has spread to the building. Inside, simulated fire is used, but the firefighters encounter real fire first. That immediately changes their mindset.    <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li data-leveltext=\"\uf0b7\" data-font=\"Symbol\" data-listid=\"2\" data-list-defn-props=\"{\"335552541\":1,\"335559685\":720,\"335559991\":360,\"469769226\":\"Symbol\",\"469769242\":[8226],\"469777803\":\"left\",\"469777804\":\"\uf0b7\",\"469777815\":\"multilevel\"}\" aria-setsize=\"-1\" data-aria-posinset=\"2\" data-aria-level=\"1\">In a large (industrial) fire: place extinguisher trainers on the roof. The rest of the building contains simulated fire, but on approach, firefighters see real flames coming out of the roof. This influences their approach and response.   <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li data-leveltext=\"\uf0b7\" data-font=\"Symbol\" data-listid=\"2\" data-list-defn-props=\"{\"335552541\":1,\"335559685\":720,\"335559991\":360,\"469769226\":\"Symbol\",\"469769242\":[8226],\"469777803\":\"left\",\"469777804\":\"\uf0b7\",\"469777815\":\"multilevel\"}\" aria-setsize=\"-1\" data-aria-posinset=\"3\" data-aria-level=\"1\">Simulate a gas leak where the leak is burning with a fire extinguisher, while the rest of the building is filled with smoke and simulated fire. This forces firefighters to account for an explosive situation.  <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\t\t<iframe width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/794884759?hl=nl&#038;cc_lang_pref=nl&#038;cc_load_policy=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\t\n\t\t<iframe width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/810954275?hl=nl&#038;cc_lang_pref=nl&#038;cc_load_policy=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\t\n\t<h3><strong>Understanding Fire Development<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>For firefighters, especially new ones, understanding fire development is essential.
