As part of an ongoing commitment to ensuring the safety and wellbeingof our community, the Arkansas City Fire/EMS Department seeks collaborative partnerships with localbusinesses to invest in vital fire safety training equipment. ACFD employs a training method involving a metal drum containing a gasoline and diesel mixture. This drum isignited to simulate a fire, and participants use extinguishers from their respective companies to put out the flames.While this training approach serves its purpose, a safer, more efficient, cost-effective option is available.The Lion company produces a fire extinguisher training system called the Intelligent Training System. This system isa compact design that senses where the trainee aims and sweeps the SmartExtinguisher, putting the fire out ifused correctly, and can be relit by a handheld controller.
