Why Choose ProSafe Helicopter Trainers?
Model-Specific Realism
We don’t believe in “one size fits all.” ProSafe designs trainers that replicate specific airframes, including combat helicopters, personnel carriers, and generic utility models. This allows crews to train on the exact dimensions and access points they will encounter in the field.
Rugged Steel Engineering
Our mockups are constructed from heavy-duty, industrial-grade steel designed to withstand the unique stresses of localized high-heat fires. Built to meet all NFPA performance criteria, these simulators offer a permanent, durable solution for military bases, airports, and municipal academies.
Precision Control & Safety
Every trainer is equipped with an integrated or onboard control system that manages propane-fueled burners. Instructors have total command over the fire’s intensity and duration, ensuring that complex multi-zone drills are conducted with the highest safety standards.
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 Burner Integration
Independent ignition points for engines, cockpits, passenger sections, and cargo holds to simulate evolving crash scenarios.
Localized Component Fires
Specialized burners for high-risk areas including landing gear/wheels and overhead engine compartments.
Onboard Control Interface
A user-friendly command system that allows for rapid ignition, modulation, and emergency shut-off of all fire zones.
Integrated Spill Fire Zones
Simulate a ruptured fuel tank with ground-level burn pans that challenge crews to manage spreading fuel fires around the airframe.
Durable Propane Technology
Utilizes clean-burning liquid or vapor propane for repeatable, debris-free training that reduces maintenance and environmental impact.
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.
