Facility
The establishment of the Resolve Fire & Hazard Inc. Training Center in Fort Lauderdale, Florida has allowed us to provide the marine industry and professional emergency service personnel worldwide with the best shipboard firefighting training available today.
The 140 foot long ship, designed by the engineering staff of the Resolve Marine Group, is fully compartmentalized with over 20 compartments, horizontal & vertical passageways including an escape scuttle spanning the four decks of the simulator, multiple watertight doors and hatches, engine room complete with a marine powerplant, galley, catwalks, and other design features provide the student with a challenging and realistic training environment.
The USCG and IMO approved training facility has 6 purpose built fire simulators onboard, and features the world famous "Swedish Flashover Simulator", installed in cooperation with the Swedish Maritime Fire Protection Committee. This one of a kind simulator allows students to observe the development of fire through it various stages, cumulating in experiencing a true flashover! This is an experience few individuals except professional firefighters ever have the opportunity to witness.
Training includes multiple evolutions with hand held extinguishers;flammable liquids spill simulator (flange fire and open pit), foam application,de-watering, engine room fires, and a full scenario incorporating a multi-hoseline interior compartment fire attack, search & rescue operations, ventilation and student fire ground command responsibilities.
In addition to providing training to mariners worldwide, Resolve also uses the facility to maintain the readiness of its emergency response strike team. The team is responsible for responding to emergencies aboard oil and chemical tankers. Through the training sessions of the team and our response to shipboard fires or other emergencies, we are constantly developing new shipboard firefighting techniques as changes in technology and ships construction dictate. This leading edge developments are then passed on to marine professionals through our USCG approved programs, or customized training for cruise ships, yachts, cargo vessels and others.
