Groupe Leader Ventilation: Fans & Blowers  (22)

Specially designed for fire safety trainers, the LEADER range of fire training equipment can be used to organize particularly realistic and dynamic fire training. Any company firefighting policy would be incomplete without training on what to do in the event of a fire. For over 20-year, LEADER has designed and manufactured fire training equipment like flame generators which perfectly meets the training requirements of any company’s fire safety officers, whilst respecting the environment, health, and learner safety requirements. Leader is one of the forerunners in the design and manufacture of propane gas-supplied fire extinguisher trainers. A fire trainer/flame generator that allows for the reduction of the impact on the environment, whilst reproducing intense and realistic fires with a flame height of up to 3m. Training Modules To personalize training and familiarize learners with all fire situations, LEADER has designed training modules compatible with all fire trainers (also called flame generators). These modules can simulate specific situations such as: Computer screen fires Bin fires Power cabinet fires Motor fires Aerosol explosions LEADER fire training modules allows learners to: Recognize the type of fire (Class, A, B, C, D, or F fire) Select the correct extinguisher (spray water extinguisher, water + additive, powder, CO2, or foam) Use the correct technique to extinguish the fire (spraying extinguishing agent over the fire, covering the fire with a wet cloth, etc.) Equipment Range LEADER fire training equipment range perfectly meets the needs of fire training for any company staff In order to supplement the fire training equipment range, Leader, the well-known fire training equipment supplier, also offers different types of refillable extinguishes for fire extinguisher training; (auxiliary pressure extinguisher, permanent pressure extinguish, CO2 extinguisher). LEADER also supplies smoke generators able to create realistic smoke for safe evacuation exercises and training. The LEADER fire training equipment range perfectly meets the needs of fire training for any company staff while respecting the environment and health and safety requirements. Totally autonomous and supplied by a rechargeable 12v battery, the environmentally friendly flame simulator can be used for training without polluting or leaving residue on-site (ash, non-consumer hydrocarbons). There is no need to add wood, hydrocarbons, or other fuels to the fire.

On the 22nd December 2010, a routine operation took a dramatic turn for firefighters in Chicago, Illinois. Two of them died and 14 others were seriously injured after the collapse of a burning building. For many years this peril has always faced Fire & Rescue teams and even since this accident many others have occurred around the world. To help prevent such accidents, there is a simple and effective solution that monitors the movements of a structure and alerts rescue teams of an imminent risk of collapse or danger. Designed by LEADER in collaboration with international experts in USAR and victim location techniques, LEADER Sentry provides additional safety in operational areas where teams or crews may be working, including rescue teams, firefighters, doctors, workers, and other persons or victims. Design and Features LEADER Sentry monitors the stability of buildings during firefighting operations With a simple program setting, the harmless laser ray of the LEADER Sentry monitors for the slightest movement in a structure or mass that may endanger people: unstable building, vehicle accident, landslide, rockfall, snow shift, or avalanche. Two LEADER Sentry laser sensors can be linked simultaneously to monitor two different structures or two axis of movement of the same structure. If the movement of the structure under surveillance exceeds the warning threshold chosen, a powerful siren and a flashing beacon are activated to warn of an impending collapse allowing rescuers to take refuge or evacuation measures. LEADER Sentry monitors the stability: of buildings during firefighting operations (fire damaged metal structures, wooden houses or other buildings, post-incident) during operations of USAR – Searching for victims (after a collapse or natural disaster) during the work/inspections within dangerous underground structures (Sewers, tunnels, mines….) during emergency shoring and securing trenches and structures (Trenches, shorings…) during securing of fragile structures (snow on the roof of houses or stadium….) or dangerously unstable masses (cliffs, archaeological excavations landslides of dangerous rocks, felled tree…) of wreckage during Rescue following Road traffic accidents, Railway derailments (lifting of damaged vehicles (trucks, train…) or of structures during operations of road rescue (movement or collapse of a bridge or a road structure) Strengths of the product Simple and intuitive One or two laser heads can be plugged into the same control box to be used simultaneously A laser beam with a range of 30 meters (100 feet) A 98 dB alarm and a red flashing beacon for immediate warnings of possible dangers Quick and easy programming Selectable adjustment by increments from 5 to 100 mm (0.2” to 4”) to determine the acceptable maximum threshold of movement depending on the structure and context A clear display showing movement in real-time with the choice of measurement (meters or inches) Possibility of multi-source power to be operational in all situations Automatic switchover to AA batteries back up if the main power source fails A telescopic sight enabling precise pinpointing of the laser on the targeted area
