Abstract
Part of the practical training for firefighting personnel are exercises in training houses where a fire is ignited either directly with combustible material or with fire replication by gas burners. The task of the firefighting team is then to bring the fire under control with the most efficient use of extinguishing medium and with the least possible danger. The aim of our project—funded by the Austrian Research Funding Agency (FFG)—is to further increase the training effect in these fire houses by performing the extinguishing process through a remotely controllable unit that can be controlled by trainers as well as by trainees themselves. All data and parameters generated in the process are recorded. Excessive sensor equipment will also make it possible to assess the efficiency and effectiveness of the extinguishing process and thus optimize it.
