Multi-Flange Prop

The FSA's multi-flange prop represents a compressor with a lube oil reservoir and associated piping.

Approach problems for students include three flange leaks, a high-pressure overhead liquid leak, and a pit spill.

The prop is fueled from four sides, which produces radiant heat. As students progress through the scenario, shutoffs are initiated and the liquid fuel, which is fed from both directions, is redirected to the remaining leaks, increasing the size of the leak and fire.

Due to the spill and overhead fire potential, two attack lines with a dedicated safety line are required to deal with this prop.

This prop is a valuable tool that teaches fire fighting students nozzle finesse and proper nozzle patterns needed in the field.
