Where firefighters come to talk training
CAFS & Live Fire
Our department is about to receive it's first CAFS engine. We are going to burn a when the truck arrives to get use to the truck ( we are going to train for 30 days with the truck first). Has anyone used a CAFS engine on a training fire? How hard is it to re-lite the fire? What are the disadvantages using this with a training fire? thank you Todd

Congrats Todd!
You are going to love that thing. Bad news; if you hit class A with CAFS, it will NEVER relite. Bad for live burn training, good for response to class A fires. No rekindle. :-)
Send me your training plan when you are done with it. I'd like to see it.
