FIRE HOUSE TRAINING MANIKINS
The Fire House Manikins demonstrate a good balance between temperature and abrasion resistance. They are predominately designed for BA snatch rescue training in fire houses and for 'hot fire cell' training.
The Fire House Manikins will easily withstand temperatures of around 160°C at floor level (400°C at the ceiling!) for a prolonged period of time - they will of course deteriorate if placed too close to naked flames or in excessive temperatures, just as any fire kit would!
FEATURES & BENEFITS
- Anatomically correct weight distribution gives the 'feel' of an unconscious casualty.
- Strong enough to be buried under concrete or steel lintels - the Para-aramid overall is not as tough as the Polyester version used in the Duty range but these manikins can still be used for general training exercises.
- The neck provides the ability to fit an immobilisation/extrication collar - to promote proper casualty care.
- Soft body joints eliminate the risk of pinch welts and bruising, a common injury when using plastic bodied manikins.
- The protective overalls and boots greatly extend the life of the manikins and are easily 'user' replaceable if damaged.
- A separate hood, also made in Para-aramid completely covers the head - being separate this makes the fitting of replacement coveralls considerably easier.

PRODUCT DETAILS
- Main carcass - Constructed in the same flame retardant Polyester (conforms to BS EN ISO 15025:2002) used in Police ballistic/stab vests.
- Main carcass - reinforced with with 38mm Para-aramid webbing – standard Polypropylene webbing will go brittle and melt at the high temperatures this manikin is designed to withstand.
- Protective overalls are constructed using a Para-aramid blend material (conforms to EN11612) and offers good protection against high temperatures - it is permanently non-flammable and most commonly used in protective clothing to protect against heat and flames.
- Protective overalls are also reinforced using Para-aramid webbing to improve the abrasion resistance and strength.
- Protective overalls are fitted using 20mm Meta-aramid ties, as the standard Velcro fastening melt at these high temperatures.
- The ends of the overall arms, which have been identified as a high wear area, are reinforced with 5mm leather to provide extra protection.
