But, while burning propane instead of fossil fuels helps the environment, improved personnel safety is the F-2000's most important feature.
Propane is safer because it can be better controlled than fossil fuel.
When a potentially dangerous situation arises during training, an emergency button at the control panel is pushed, immediately extinguishing the fire before a mishap occurs. This safety improvement gives trainers a better sense of comfort when they send in a team of inexperienced Sailors to fight a fire. It's still dangerous, but it's a lot safer than facilities where fires can't be controlled. The F-2000 simulates a typical Class Bravo fire. During the fire fighting process, countless scenarios can be created by controlling flame area zones from the F-2000 control panel.
