Objective

The course will be a blend of theory and practice, and heavily focussed on the overall implications of tank fire fighting. This will include an in-depth understanding of the risk and its manifestation, the importance of foam selection, designing and specifying foam fire systems, including tank systems. The practical training will

include real fires with real fuels, across a number of training modules. Some of the training will involve BA work and a qualification or training in BA would be essential. However, the BA aspect is optional and therefore not essential to participate in the overall training.

Schedule

The school is effectively a five day event, with Monday and Friday as travelling days. Monday evening will feature the course welcome buffet and Friday may include a wrap-up session, if travel plans permit. Tuesday to Thursday will be course days, typically running from 9am to 5pm.

Location & Facilities

The course will be held at the fire training school at Centro Jovellanos in Asturias, Spain. The school will provide full logistical support for the course,

including fuel, fire test modules, some of the site labour, the PPE and the BA. Delegates will also be heavily involved in test ground training and work, for which they may bring their own fire boots and helmet if preferred. For further details of the course location, go to: www.centrojovellanos.com

Case Studies

Included in the training package will be some case studies on major tank scenarios and a practical case study to identify potential risk, select the relevant protection standard and to develop a basic fire protection system against the risk.

Course Format

The course is intended to be interactive and delegates will be encouraged to contribute to discussions as the event evolves. There will also be some more formal question and answer sessions.

Foam Surgery

Delegates will also be able to submit specific questions or concerns before the course, which will be addressed either during the Foam Surgery or separately after the course.

Experience the special characteristics of firefighting foam, discuss potential hazardous scenarios and mitigation strategies
