Hot Fire TrainingMembers of Londonderry Rural Fire Brigade recently undertook some practical hot fire training at fire training ground at the Testsafe site at Londonderry.A variety of flammable liquid fires were ignited and Londonderry firefighters practised extinguishment techniques using foam making branchpipes and dry chemical powder (DCP) extinguishers.Londonderry Rural Fire Brigade would like to thank Testsafe for the use of their facility and also F/F Michael Kovacs for his instruction on DCP extinguishers. Michael showed us how with proper technique, even a seemingly large flammable liquid fire can be quickly extinguished with a relatively small DCP extinguisher.More information on Testsafe can be found at http://www.testsafe.com.au/
