Why Choose the ProSafe ARFF System?

Full-Scale Realism

Choose between a 50-foot or 80-foot aircraft fuselage mockup, designed to replicate the scale and complexity of modern aircraft. Our advanced propane fuel distribution system and proprietary nozzle designs create authentic flame signatures, providing the visual and thermal intensity of a real-world disaster.

Unmatched Fuel Efficiency

By utilizing our high-efficiency burner technology, ProSafe allows your department to run more training cycles with less fuel. Our systems are engineered to provide maximum flame output while maintaining a low cost-per-burn, making it the most cost-effective ARFF solution on the market.

Regulatory Compliance Guaranteed

Training with ProSafe means training to the highest standards. Our ARFF sites are engineered to meet or exceed:

  • FAA Circular 150/5220-17A: Meeting all federal requirements for airport fire training facilities.
  • NFPA 1003: Aligning with the Standard for Airport Fire Fighter Professional Qualifications.

Key Features & Capabilities

Pro-Safe Fire Training System Inc. builds live fire training systems shaped by real-world fireground experience. Every simulator and prop is designed to deliver realistic training conditions with the control, consistency, and safety standards instructors and crews rely on.

Multi-Zone Training

Simulate diverse emergencies, including cockpit fires, cabin fires, cargo area blazes, and high-bypass turbine engine failures.

Fuel Spill Burn Area

A dedicated ground-level zone designed to simulate large-scale fuel spills, perfect for practicing foam application and turret tactics.

Custom Engineering

Every ARFF site is custom-built from the ground up. We work directly with your team to design a facility that fits your specific airport category, training goals, and budget.

Rugged Construction

Built under strict quality control systems using heavy-duty materials designed to withstand thousands of high-heat evolutions.

P-250 Precision

Integrated with our flagship burner technology, allowing instructors to utilize either liquid or vapor propane for varied fire behavior.

Why Propane?

Propane provides the most realistic simulation of fire. It offers lower costs through reduced maintenance and less fuel burned. Propane is also more environmentally friendly than alternative fuel sources.

benefits of propane live fire training

  • Realistic fire simulation with controllable, repeatable flame behaviour
  • Lower maintenance requirements with cleaner operation and reduced residue
  • Reduced fuel use through efficient burns and scenario control
  • Cleaner operation compared to many traditional fuel alternatives

Fuel flexibility and integration

Pro-Safe systems can also be configured to integrate with natural gas and Tek Flame, offering additional flexibility to match site requirements, training objectives, and available fuel sources.

Compliance and Safety Record

Pro-Safe Fire Training Systems Inc. designs live fire training systems to align with a wide range of stringent international compliance requirements. This commitment has positioned Pro-Safe to support training programs and facilities that serve military, airport ARFF, and civilian fire departments, where regulatory expectations and safety standards are exceptionally high.

Safety is central to every simulator, prop, and training evolution. Developed by firefighters for firefighters, Pro-Safe systems are built for controlled operation, repeatable scenarios, and responsible training environments. To date, no training-related injuries have been reported as a result of training with Pro-Safe systems.

Frequently ASked Questions

Selecting the right live fire technology is a critical decision for any department. To help you evaluate our systems, we’ve addressed the most common questions regarding compliance, safety, and customization. Find the clarity you need to choose the best solution for your team’s mission readiness.

Yes. Our Fixed ARFF Training Sites are engineered specifically to meet all requirements set forth in FAA Advisory Circular 150/5220-17A. Additionally, our systems comply with NFPA 1003 (Standard for Airport Fire Fighter Professional Qualifications) and NFPA 1402 guidelines for fire service training centers.

We primarily offer 50-foot and 80-foot fuselage lengths. However, because every ProSafe system is custom-built from the ground up, we can modify dimensions and configurations to represent specific narrow-body or wide-body aircraft types based on your airport’s category and training needs.

Absolutely. The ProSafe ARFF site features multi-zone ignition points. Interior zones include the cockpit, passenger cabin, and cargo holds. Exterior zones include high-bypass turbine engines, wing/fuselage breaches, and large-scale ground-level fuel spill areas.

Propane (Liquid or Vapor) provides a clean-burning, environmentally friendly alternative to Class A materials or contaminated fuels. It offers:

  • Instant Control: Instructors can ignite or extinguish fires at the push of a button for maximum safety.
  • Repeatability: Run dozens of evolutions per day without the need for manual resets or debris cleanup.
  • Low Maintenance: Minimal soot and residue extend the life of the steel mockup.

Yes. A signature feature of our ARFF site is the integrated fuel spill burn area. This allows crews to practice turret maneuvers and foam application techniques (AFFF) on large-scale ground fires, simulating a major aircraft fuel breach.

Our mockups are constructed from heavy-gauge, heat-resistant steel and reinforced at critical burn points. Under a standard maintenance schedule, ProSafe mockups are designed to withstand thousands of high-heat training cycles over decades of service.

Yes. ProSafe simulators are certified and labeled by Intertek Testing Services NA Ltd., an OSHA-approved Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL). This ensures the electrical and fuel distribution systems meet the highest international safety standards.

Every system we build is bespoke. We work with your training officers to determine which scenarios are most critical for your region—whether that’s engine fires, tail-mounted APU fires, or specific interior cabin configurations.Your Content Goes Here

Yes. Upon completion of the installation, our expert technicians provide comprehensive on-site operator training. We ensure your staff is fully proficient in safely creating realistic fire situations and maintaining the system for long-term use.

Because each site is a custom engineering project, we begin with a consultation to determine your airport category, available space, and budget. Request a quote today!
