Green Firefighter Training in Colorado

28 June 2009 | Green News | No Comments

In many cases of environmental pollution,the main factor is the burning process, which often can be started accidentally.Burning  process can be found also in any car’s engine that run on fossil fuels or in big factories that burn materials to obtain other various products. In this post I want to present another aspect of environmental pollution, respectively pollution made by accidentally fires.Building fires can generate a large amount of pollutant gases that are not only harmful to the environment but are also toxic to humans.

District of North Metro Denver has found a solution, reducing this type of pollution with a new type of firefighter green training, which consists in the use of clean burning propane gas to produce the intensity of flames.The rsults of this kind of action will be without any aftermath of pollution.All buildings, furniture, and any floor, will be monitored and controlled by a computer aided flame system.The operator of this system can control the size and temperature of these flames during the rescue operations, so everything will take place in safety conditiond.

When the rescue operation ends,flames are automatically shut-down and toxic gases and smoke is absorbed in only few seconds.After such operation you could hardly say that there were flames.
“The floors of the training buildings are also sloped to a slight degree to allow the water used during the simulations to be drained into retention ponds, where it can be recycled and used again.Districts from all over Colorado are taking advantage of the new facility, which due to its clean burning nature, has absolutely no environmental restrictions. This means the training can be conducted as often as needed without the safety and environmental risks normally associated with it.” – Treehugger
