How do you simulate a fire without actual flames? And ensure that all your trainees have the same perception of the size of the flames? For this, you can use a Silkflame. A silkflame is one of the oldest methods of flame simulation that exists. In fact, its origin dates back to a time before we even had electricity. It is originally a special effect from the theater industry.
Silkflames are excellent to use as training tools in the emergency response sector. However, there are certainly different requirements for a product in the theater compared to a firefighting exercise. Over the past 20 years, FireWare has evolved the traditional silkflame from the theater into an ideal training tool for the emergency response industry!
Of course, practicing with real fire is preferable. But that's not always possible. Consider exercises in a school, hospital, or factory in your own environment. It becomes challenging to actually set a room on fire in such locations. However, with a truly good scenario in such a setting, there are numerous other valuable learning and training objectives to achieve.
Especially in these situations, the FireWare Phoenix Silkflame can provide a solution. The Phoenix Silkflame is extremely quick to deploy, robustly built, and easy to transport. With a variable flame height from 0 to 200 cm, the Phoenix can be used for a wide range of learning and training objectives. Need a flame that rolls along a ceiling? No problem: the Phoenix can also be placed horizontally.
Thanks to the special smoke inlet and IP65 fan, the Phoenix can also be used without fabric but with a Cumulus or Stratus smoke machine. This makes the effect even more realistic, especially in the dark!
