Firefighting training apparatus and method

摘要

A firefighting training apparatus includes a tank having a tank outlet and a tank inlet, and a cuboid-shaped receptacle mounted on top of the tank. The receptacle has an open rear side, a closed front side, a planar top side, and a bottom side with a sump connected to the tank inlet. The closed front side has a vertical lower portion and an angled upper portion connected to the top side. A plane containing the angled upper portion forms an acute angle with the top side to help disperse training fluid within the receptacle. A plurality of flow dividers are provided on the closed front side to further disperse training fluid being sprayed through the open rear side into the receptacle. The tank with the open-sided receptacle mounted on top is supported by a mobile trailer to facilitate transporting the training apparatus to a training site.
