Helicopters offer special challenges to fire fighters because of the extensive use of light and flammable metals in their construction and complexity of their electrical systems.
A simple class A or B or C fire can very quickly degenerate in to a Class D fire.
Speed and accuracy of the fire fighting technique is of the essence to prevent such a catastrophic degeneration of the fire.
To save cost, a “Helicopter fire trainer” can be combined with a “light aircraft fire trainer” as a so called “Cesskopter”.
Quite often, a “fire screen” is used to train the speed and accuracy of application of foam thrower operators
