Mission Training is Kent’s leading fire training academy, providing modern and dynamic frameworks of learning for those wishing to become a professional in their chosen industry.
About this course
Mission Training offers the Laser-Driven Extinguisher Training which is the latest advancement in fire training technology and is eco-friendly. Using the laser-training extinguisher to provide a dynamic and realistic simulation for trainees while eliminating the hazards associated with conventional fire extinguisher training. This effective training simulates class A, B and C fires at four difficulty levels and has the capability of grading trainees on their performance and is carried out in the classroom.
Because the system is unique in the fire extinguisher training industry the learners can have as many attempts as required to extinguish the fire so that they leave with the correct operation and action of a Fire Extinguisher.
The Laser Driven Training System senses where the user aims and sweeps a laser training extinguisher and automatically varies the LED driven digital flames in response. The electronic control system responds to the trainees’ actions, putting the fire out only when the extinguisher is used correctly. It uses a conical laser to replicate extinguisher discharge rather than depending on a dry-chemical or CO2 extinguisher.
Because only laser light is emitted from the training extinguisher, extinguisher training can now be conducted virtually anywhere. Digital flames also respond to Smart Extinguishers™ for additional training variations which means that the practical session can be carried out externally with the use of water based extinguishers which are eco-friendly using water and compressed air.
Fire Extinguisher Training is carried out in a safe environment and learners are not exposed to any hazards relating to heat or smoke.
