MANIQUI RETARDANTE
The Flame Retardant dummies are designed for high temperature ‘snatch’ rescue scenarios with real flames and the chance of a ‘flash-over’. While the higher specification, flame retardant dummies demonstrate a good balance between temperature and abrasion resistance, they are not as robust as the general purpose range and should not be used for general training. General construction is similar to the General Purpose dummy, but instead uses a high tech H/D Nomex material for the outer carcass, the material being stitched using PTFE coated glass thread.
The protective overalls are also made using Nomex which is a polyamid-imide material that offers maximal protection against very high temperatures. It is permanently non-flammable and most commonly used in protective clothing against heat and flames.
Flame Retardant training dummies are fitted with genuine heat resistant fire-fighters safety boots, the boots greatly extend the life of the dummy protecting the legs if the dummy is dragged along the ground.
A separate hood, also made with Nomex material completely covers the head, being separate makes the fitting of replacement overalls considerably easier.
The overalls will easily withstand temperatures of 200-250 degs C, the average temperature at knee height for ‘hot fire’ training and only starts to ‘fail’ at temperatures in excess of 400 degs C and then it will be the fire boots that fail first. Flash-over temps greater than 1000 degs are withstood by the dummy for short periods but it should be noted that they will fail if placed too close to naked flames for any length of time (as any turnout gear would). We do have another FR model available for use with flammable gel for fire blanket and extinguisher training.
The dummies are weighted to produce an anatomically correct weight distribution and the ‘feel’ of an unconscious patient and are available in 2 weights – 30kg and 50kg.
Please note – the high density polypropylene webbing seen on our other dummies cannot be used on this dummy as it will melt at the temperatures this dummy will endure.
A lightweight manikin for fire extinguisher and blanket training.
The stand (optional extra) allows the manikin to stand while the flammable gel is ignited; the semicircular base allows the manikin to be knocked to the ground easily during the exercise. The manikin makes for much more interesting training with extinguishers and fire blankets and will demonstrate the importance of getting casualties to the ground as quickly as possibe once ignited.

.Fire Training Manikin
A lightweight manikin for fire extinguisher and blanket training.
The Fire Manikin allows you practice ‘knock down’ drills using fire blankets, or the use of portable fire extinguishers when responding to somebody on fire. The Fire Manikin can also be used to demonstrate the hazards associated with wearing loose and flammable clothing when near an open flame.The manikins are constructed using a blue Silica material to the front and yellow Kevlar to the back, the Kevlar withstands the wear and tear during the training exercises. The manikins are filled using mineral wool.
Used with Ruth Lee proprietary fire gel, the Fire Manikin is robust enough to withstand over 1,000 ignitions – the gel should be applied to the protective jacket to greatly extend the life of the manikin. The manikin can be used with or without the supporting stand.
Recommended accessories include:
- Support stand
- Protective vest
- Flammable gel
Thermal Resistance: 600 ° C.
