Fire house
A fire house (also known as a pyrodrome ) is a building in which a fire can be simulated using numerous gas burners . It is used for the advanced training of breathing apparatus wearers in fire departments . Here they can practice deleting under realistic conditions or have flash overs demonstrated.
An essential requirement for fire houses is the ability to intervene in accidents during fire service training and to monitor the trainees.
In earlier fire houses, straw fires were lit to generate smoke and thus poor visibility and heat. The disadvantage was the poor monitoring possibilities and a more difficult rescue in the event of an accident during the simulation.
The maintenance of fire houses is expensive. They are mostly operated by fire brigade schools. Mobile fire containers are predominantly used in large fire brigades .
The current state of the art in the German-speaking area is laid down in DIN standard 14097, which regulates the construction and operation. One of these has been under construction since 2009 in an EU-funded project at the state fire brigade school in Eisenstadt , Burgenland, and serves to train both Austrian and Hungarian fire brigade members.
