Fire-Aid International have supplied a refurbished m reg ex London Volvo FL6 14 to Kronospan fire and rescue for their large production plant in Wales

Some of the crew came down to train on the new vehicle at the  Wessex Fire and Rescue training centre in Sopley Hampshire

It has been fitted with a 100 gallon foam tank in the drivers side 1st locker

It has also been fitted with a new C.A.F.S system in the oic side front locker as can be seen in pic

The crew testing the new C.A.F.S system on the live fire training ground at Sopley

As you can see it worked very well

The crew then tried out the foam system using training foam

The pill box reached a temp of 500 degrees

The new system put the fire out in seconds 

As you can see  the ARGUS 3 THERMAL IMAGE CAMERA supplied by E2V TECHNOLOGIES shows the heat

Our thanks to Chris and Simon Rowley of Fire- Aid International for the pics of the training day

Kimmeridge volunteer fire service near Wareham in Dorset  came to us to use the BA search & rescue and smoke chamber for all their crew members in April 2007

THE CREWS ARE BRIEFED AND EQUIPMENT CHECKED PRIOR TO ENTERING THE BUILDING

THE FIRST PAIR ENTER THE SMOKE CHAMBER VIA THE FLAP

AND THE NEXT PAIR ARE READY TO FOLLOW THEM IN

crew members had special BA masks to make it look  like it was full of smoke in the building they then had to work there way around the building

Part of the building is designed as a confined space area it gets smaller as you go in the tunnel

As you can see there are always plenty of trained personnel to keep an eye on things

THEY FIND THE LARGE DUMMY AND REMOVE HIM TO A SAFE LOCATION

We let the crew use both steel and composite BA cylinders so as to get used to the different weights

When all the crews were  happy with just masks and then wearing  the sets on there back we went on to stage 3 fill the building with a non toxic smoke and hide a casualty

As you can see it does not take long to fill with smoke and the crews got to work and found both dummies

ALL CREWS ENTERED VIA THE BA MAIN CONTROL AND TALLIES WERE MARKED WITH THE TIME

An excellent job was done by the crews from Kimmeridge thanks to Ian and Keith Welsh their officers who are both serving firefighters with Dorset fire and rescue service based at Wareham fire station
