Following extensive design and engineering work, CFA has delivered five refitted fire behaviour training trailers across the state.
The trailers contain a burn table that can simulate fire behaviour in different terrains in a rural setting.
The trailers are fully self-sufficient with external lighting and a range of audiovisual equipment, which means they are suitable for a variety of activities including brigade training, community fire safety education and local presentations.
A training package is currently being developed to give members the skills and knowledge they need to operate the burn table.
The trailer's main features are:
- LCD TV, DVD player, PA system with microphone (accessed through a side compartment)
- internal and external battery-powered LED lighting
- laptop stand and connections
- fire behaviour training burn table and all required accessories including replacement hessian, model cars, burnable houses and coloured spray paints
- electric winch to make it easier to load and unload the burn table
- bollards and barriers to demarcate the training area from spectators
- fire extinguishers and a first-aid kit.
Trailers will be able to be booked through local district training coordinators.
