Fire Fighting Simulation

In order to overcome the problem of making fires in built up
areas, which is both illegal and very dangerous, IEFA has
acquired electronic fire fighting equipment that simulates a
real fire and tests the skills of the fire fighters to the utmost
on their technique in extinguishing various types of fires at
various levels of intensities. The practical side of fire training
is vitally important!.
