Abstract: A fire fighting trainer is provided for use in training firefighters comprising a series of lower profile burner tray assemblies which are fully self-contained for holding water which shields the tray structure from the high temperatures generated during the training exercise. A distribution system is provided to distribute and diffuse the propane above the water with a pilot igniting system for igniting the propane. The tray assemblies are covered by a metal netting which further shields them from the elevated temperatures and provides a walking surface over which personnel can advance during a training exercise. The low profile enhances the realism of the fuel spill fire and minimizes any hazards resulting from tripping on the surfaces.

A method of training fire fighters and passenger rescuers is also provided.

Abstract: A fire fighting trainer for use in training fire fighters about a ceiling rollover fire. This trainer includes a chamber with a ceiling and includes a burner head subassembly and includes a burner control subassembly. The burner head subassembly has a fuel gas inlet pipe and an adjacent combustion air inlet pipe to produce an air/gas mixture which creates a flame at the ceiling. The burner control subassembly selectively increases the fuel gas flow to make the produced flame have a ceiling rollover effect.

Abstract: A fire fighting trainer for use in training fire fighters to extinguish jet crash fuel fires and the like, the trainer includes a supply pipe and control valve, a distribution pipe with holes, an open tank with a diffuser being a mixture of water and gravel within which the distribution pipe is disposed, so that liquid propane jets out from the holes, then passes as vapor bubbles to the diffuser surface, then collects as propane vapor on the surface, and a gas pilot flame device for lighting the propane vapor to form flames on the diffuser surface. The simulated flames look very similar to jet crash liquid fuel flames.

Abstract: A smoke generator wherein vaporative properties of a liquid smoke agent are activated by a heated air flow through a venturi with the vacuum created in the metering venturi controlling the flow of smoke producing liquid to the heated air. The smoke generator includes an air compressor, a heater, a metering venturi, a side venturi pipe, a smoke fluid reservoir, and a support.

Abstract: A fire fighting trainer for use in training fire fighters is provided. The fire fighting trainer includes a structure having a plurality of chambers having concrete or grating floors. Each chamber contains one or a series of real or simulated items, which are chosen from a group of items, such as furniture and fixtures and equipment. The trainer also includes a smoke generating system having a smoke generator having a smoke line with an outlet for each chamber. The trainer also includes a propane gas flame generating system having at least one propane gas pressure controller and a gas line with a burner control and one or more single element or multi-element burners for each chamber. The trainer has a main control panel for regulating the flame generating system and the smoke generating system and for controlling the fire, or fires, and smoke in each chamber.
