The Chubb Loss Control Training Center is a complete fire protection facility recognized throughout the industry for its comprehensive approach to the principles of loss prevention. Interactive seminars held at the Center give participants an excellent opportunity to gain experience using the latest apparatus and techniques. Practical exercises give application to loss prevention theories, helping clients implement effective programs within their own facility.
A glass-walled fire chamber allows participants to see how different sprinkler systems react to fire. In addition to traditional classroom instruction and practical exercises, everyone operates the equipment to gain familiarity with systems found in most facilities. Participants usually get wet while taking pitot readings and greasy while resetting valves.
The Center is one of few such facilities in the United States, equipped with a state-of-the-art classroom and many protection systems:
Enclosed sprinkler activation area
Indoor and outdoor fire hydrants
1 wet pipe sprinkler riser
3 dry pipe sprinkler risers
4 interlocked pre-action sprinkler risers
Deluge sprinkler riser
Fire detection devices: infrared, ionization, photoelectric, thermal, ultraviolet
Rolling steel fire door
Electric booster fire pump
Diesel vertical turbine fire pump
