Live burn mockup plans

 

Many campuses have found it very effective to build, and burn, a mockup of a student room.  Others are reluctant to do it because they perceive it as being too daunting a task, which,
in reality, is not the case.

These mockups can be built very easily and inexpensively.  However, as with any exercise involving live fire, it is critically important to look at all of the safety aspects and involve the fire department throughout the exercise.  It may also be necessary to get permits from the local or state jurisdiction before conducting the burn.
 
Campus Firewatch has put together a set of drawings and some information on how to build and burn a mockup.  Click here to download this document, and contact us if you should have any questions. Good luck!
  Videos of student room mockup burns   More schools across the country are using the mockup burns as effective learning tools. See the videos that have been uploaded onto youtube.com.
