Firefighters gather in Adams for flashover fire training By John Pirsos | May 2, 2021 at 6:01 PM EDT - Updated May 2 at 8:35 PM
ADAMS, N.Y. (WWNY) -On the inside, it looks like an out of control house fire. But it is a controlled environment inside of a steel box. Itâs called a flashover simulator, a common, yet intense training exercise for firefighters.
âThis is one of those things that will kill you in a fire. Thereâs no surviving a flashover, so we want to show them what preempts that, so they can see the signs of when thatâs going to occur and they can prevent it from happening by opening a hose line or by getting out of the space,â said Bruce Heberer, CEO of the New York State Association of Fire Chiefs.
