Keeping calm in an emergency
Saving peoples’ lives and fighting fires: These are probably the most important operations that our fire brigades have to master. In the event of a fire, the fire fighters must know exactly what they have to do to protect other people and themselves. The top priority is of course to evacuate people when a fire breaks out in a building.
That’s why a burning house is searched for occupants before the extinguishing operation is initiated. It is vital to perform fire drills beforehand to ensure that the rescue workers are able to find their bearings in thick smoke and that they remain calm and collected under pressure. This involves practising the operation under conditions that are as real as possible – with the help of a fog machine. The Fog And Smoke Gas Simulator FS200 from Trotec produces thick – completely safe – smoke in a matter of minutes.
The device u see right handed is a simple disco nebulizer. It works simply via gas pressure, which results by evaporation expansion of the fluid in the heating chamber. If the gas pressure gets too high, a valve opens and the fog is released. The Trotec device at the left hand of the picture amounts almost the hundred fold! Many times our sales staff hears the same question: what justifies the enormous difference in prices?
