ABSTRACT:
A system and method is disclosed for providing control of a fuel-operable burner assembly of a firefighter trainer in accordance with a sensed environmental parameter such as the temperature of an object such as a metal grating or prop that is positioned adjacent to the burner assembly. The control system and method are particularly advantageous to simulate fire reflash following substantial extinguishment of the fire, as operational parameters such as the rate of flame growth, maximum flame height, and reflash delay can be selected and varied from one scenario to the other to modify the training scenario in accordance with such factors as trainee proficiency and the type or class of fire. Burner control is preferably accomplished by an automated processing system in accordance with the foregoing environmental and operational parameters.
