Fire House Manikin Gen II - Ruth Lee

Ruth Lee Fire Resistant Fire House Rescue Training Manikin II replaces the original Fire Resistant Manikin with many new design enhancements. This manikin offers a good balance between temperature and abrasion resistance. The Fire House manikin is perfect for fire and general training. The manikin carcass is constructed using heavy duty canvas, reinforced with 38mm Nomex webbing as opposed to the polypropylene webbing found on the general purpose range – standard Polypropylene webbing will go brittle and melt at the high temperatures this manikin is designed to withstand. The protective coveralls are constructed using a Nomex blend material which offers good protection against high temperatures - it is permanently non-flammable and most commonly used in protective clothing to protect against heat and flames. The protective coveralls are also reinforced using Nomex webbing to improve the abrasion resistance and strength – the overalls are fitted using 20mm Kevlar ties, as the standard Velcro fastening melt at these high temperatures. The ends of the arms, which have been identified as a high stress area, are reinforced with 5mm leather to provide extra protection. The Fire House Manikins are designed to withstand temperatures of 280-320°F (140-160°C), the average temperature at floor height for hot fire cell training and only starts to ‘fail’ at temperatures in excess of 350°F (180°C). Used during training procedures for RACE (R.A.C.E.) Rescue, Alarm, Confine, Extinguish)
