North Metro Training Center - Training Grounds/Props

Car Fire
The Car Fire prop is a single vehicle fire simulation prop. This prop is fueled by propane.

Running Fuel Spill
The Running Fuel Spill prop simulates fuel that has leaked/spilled from its container and has caught fire. This prop is fueled by propane and has no mobility regarding its location.

Hazardous Materials
The Hazardous Materials prop simulates leaks involving both liquid and gas. There are a series of pipes that allow students to trace a leak to its source and plug it or close appropriate valves. In addition, the Hazardous Materials prop has a stairway that leads to a fabricated shell that responders would find similar to the shell of a gasoline tanker or a railcar. On the tank are three different domes (at the time of publication only the chlorine dome is attached, please check with Training Center Staff for current prop status) which replicate the actual domes responders would need to work on during an emergency situation.

Confined Space
The Confined Space prop simulates real world conditions that exist in every cities storm system. Students can enter or exit the prop as necessary through a series of manhole covers placed strategically throughout the prop at conjunction points where the pipe changes size.

Trench Rescue
The Trench Rescue prop simulates conditions that may exist when construction of water and sewer lines is taking place. Students can practice the latest shoring and rescue techniques.

Technical Rescue -- Confined Space/Heavy Lifting
The Confined Space/Heavy Lifting prop simulates conditions after a collapse has occurred. The prop design was based after the Oakland, California earthquakes and features a pancake collapse.

Extrication Yard
The Extrication Yard is a fenced area that holds vehicles used by students to practice extrication techniques.

Driving Track
The Driving Track provides students learning to drive large apparatus with ample opportunity to negotiate both left and right turns, open area driving, and tighter, more restricted areas. The Burn Building area is constructed to simulate a "cityscape" that has curbs and landscaping.
