News Item Live Fire Training Enhanced at Aircare FACTS® Training (OLYMPIA, WA - September 9, 2005) Preparedness is the cornerstone of Aircare FACTS® Training's emergency response training programs. ÊIn an effort to create the most realistic fire simulation experience, Aircare FACTS® has acquired the world's leading fire extinguisher training device for students to engage in live training exercises. Ê Aircare FACTS® instructors use the Portable Extinguisher Trainer to safely control training exercises and insure proper operation procedures are followed. The user-friendly portable extinguisher training device is designed and manufactured to provide a reality-based, propane fueled live fire training prop. With automatic ignition, "low" and "high" settings, and a "dead man" switch, students are able to operate a fire extinguisher in a real live fire environment without the safety hazards of an uncontrolled fire. Additionally, propane as a fuel source provides a clean burning, environmentally sound alternative to traditional fuels being used today. Studies have shown that when an individual is properly trained on the use of fire extinguishers, they are 2-1/2 times more effective when extinguishing a fire. As students are exposed to live fire situations, they are taught quick and calculated responses for effective use of a portable fire extinguisher, which in turn builds confidence through hands-on experience. Fire extinguisher training is critical to preserving lives and property. The National Association of Fire Equipment Distributors estimates that only 1% of the population is adequately trained to use a fire extinguisher. Aircare FACTS® Training has been a leader in the use of innovative training devices to provide its students with simulated but close to live emergency situations. Upon successful completion of the Aircare FACTS® Training curriculum and stringent testing, students receive an industry recognized Certificate of Completion.
