To summarise the required works: Key Enhancements: o Drying Room Installation: A new facility for drying equipment and gear used during training exercises. o Dirty Lecture Room: Creation of a lecture/briefing room for use after training, where participants can enter without needing to clean up first. o Alterations to Site Drainage: Adjustments to the existing external drainage system to connect to existing site drainage. o External Staircase: Supply and fitting of a new external emergency escape staircase outside the building fitted to the existing gantry. o Dry Riser Installation: A dry riser will be installed to allow water to be delivered in the building, essential for high-rise training and firefighting scenarios. o High-Rise Training Scenario: A scenario for high-rise firefighting training will be established, including an alternative door entry into an existing burn room to simulate realistic entry challenges. o Temperature Probes: Installation of temperature monitoring devices to track and record heat conditions during training exercises. o Fabrication of Metal Doors and Partitions: Fabrication and fitting of robust metal doors and partitions to create confined spaces and more challenging entryways for firefighting drills. Purpose of Enhancements: These works aim to improve the overall functionality of the Coventry Fire House, making it a more effective and realistic training facility by simulating different firefighting conditions, especially high-rise building scenarios. The upgrades, such as the drying room and lecture room, will also support the operational needs of training participants. Additional information: A new project has been published to the website.
