The Forcible Entry Training Trailer – This trailer is used by firefighters to practice gaining entry through doors, windows, gates, and locking mechanisms. It has a forcible entry door simulator that firefighters have to break through. It also has a cutting station that simulates different obstacles that firefighters may find during a fire or rescue situation. Also, a station that trains firefighters to get through locked doors while causing minimal damage to property will be demonstrated. We use electric tools that are quiet and produce no fumes which allows our County Firefighters to train indoors during bad weather. These trailers are used through an outreach program. Our Erie County fire departments sign up, and then we send the County Fire Instructors and the trailers to their respective fire stations throughout the year. (Friday August 11 ^th, Saturday the 12^th, and Sunday the 13 ^th)


The Vent Simulation Trailer - This trailer is used by firefighters to practice cutting ventilation holes in roofs or floors. It has a peaked roof that produces artificial smoke, and pallets are used to simulate roofing material. It also has a Vent, Enter, Search Window that the firefighters use to practice rescues through. It has a prop used to practice roof cuts on a flat commercial style roof as well. We use electric tools that are quiet and produce no fumes which allows our County Firefighters to train indoors during bad weather. These trailers are used through an outreach program. Our Erie County fire departments sign up, and then we send the County Fire Instructors and the trailers to their respective fire stations throughout the year. (August 15 ^th , 16^th, and 17^th.)


The Firefighter Survival Trailer – This trailer carries props that test the abilities of firefighters to “Self Rescue’ when caught in situations that may cause them to become disorientated or trapped. A series of obstacles are placed in a course setting that the firefighter must make their way through. The firefighter has full gear on and has their ability to see covered up. This trains the firefighter to remain calm and be comfortable in their firefighter gear. It also trains them to figure out which way is “out” and get themselves to safety. Some of the obstacles have entanglement challenges, reduced size spaces, and maneuverability issues. These trailers are used through an outreach program. Our Erie County fire departments sign up, and then we send the County Fire Instructors and the trailers to their respective fire stations throughout the year. (August 18 ^th, 19^th, and 20 ^th)
