Fire in an aircraft engine

This is a training exercise designed for learning to operate the nozzle. The idea is to just cover the engine inlet with a spray of water while having to hold the hose above your shoulders, which is quite heavy.

We are not using AFFF foam because it would be messy with 24 students waiting their turn. In a real event fire trucks would be putting the fire out with this type of foam.

the Fire Fighters there are PATHETIC. The engine fire was on fire, nothing wrong with that. But the fire fighters used water to put it out! No Wonder the flames spreaded. The fire was part liquid part solid. So water would spread the flammable liquid. Should've used a foam spray.

@Officialfoofighters

the exercise was designed towards learning to handle the nozzle, not to put out an actual fire. It's true that in a real situation we would have used the AFFF foam, but it gets kinda messy with 24 students using that much foam.

This is the training facility at Rygge airport in Norway. We are using water, but in a real situation we would be using AFFF foam.

using water to deal with a jet engine fire.

of course the fuckin yanks would be stupid enuf to do that

The exercise is not that much about putting out a real aircraft engine fire, as that would have been done by the firetrucks. However, it's good for learning how to use the hose and nozzle properly, with this kind of intense fire. The guy in the movie is holding a hose for the fifth time in his life. Not bad!

It's a fire trainer you fuckin dumbass! It uses propane not jet fuel so water IS what you need in this training exercise. I guess these "yanks" are smarter than you!

Guys, its a simulated exercise. They can turn off and on the fire with fitted valve. Simple. :-)
