| CFA Makes Smart Stove Training Prop Available |
The BullEx Smart Stove training prop is a simulator designed to teach various audiences the proper actions to react to a fire in their oven or stovetop. The simulation uses a non-toxic smoke and a fire extinguisher prop that uses lasers to determine if the student is using it properly to extinguish the fire. The simulator is reusable for multiple evolutions of the training. Although oven and stove fires and correct fire extinguisher use are the main lessons of the prop, other reaction messages can be outlined as well. For example; notifying the Fire Department, proper reaction to smoke detectors, burn prevention, proper storage of combustibles in the stove area and other basic kitchen fire safety messages are also easy to adapt with the use of the unit.
