Fire Sprinkler Demonstration Trailer

 

Before...

...After

The Department's Fire Sprinkler Demonstration Trailer has been used across the state and in various parts of the nation to educate others on the benefit of fire sprinklers.  As depicted above, plexi-glass panels on either side of the burn room allow viewers to witness the fire grow from ignition to a point where the sprinkler head will activate, extinguishing the fire.  Digital displays indicate floor and ceiling temperatures.

The rear portion of the trailer, as shown below, contains training props for a commercial wet-pipe riser, commercial dry-pipe riser, and a residential riser.  Also included is a fire alarm panel.  These tools are used to train both the public and fire department response personnel on the equipment.

The trailer was purchased using DHS Fire Prevention Grant funds.
