The fire department at NASA\u2019s Ames Research Center in California\u2019s Silicon Valley will perform training on the Moffett Federal Airfield beginning Tuesday, Sept. 8 through Friday, Sept. 11. The training will involve the use of a propane-fueled aircraft fire simulator and be conducted from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. PDT.<\/p>\n
Because the aircraft simulator is fueled by propane, very little smoke should be produced during the controlled training fires. However, flames may be visible to drivers on U.S. Highway 101. The training is intended to prepare Ames\u2019 first responders to respond to a variety of realistic aircraft firefighting scenarios.<\/p>\n
