Shout out to Landisburg EMS for the standby for the weekends training. Thank you!!!

05/31/2026

This weekend our volunteers along with several neighboring fire companies participated in a Flashover Recognition and Survival Course presented by the Pennsylvania State Fire Academy.

A flashover occurs when all contents in a room reach their ignition temperature and ignite simultaneously. It is one of the most dangerous events firefighters can face, even those with years of experience.

Training included classroom sessions on fire behavior and flashover science, followed by hands on evolutions in the Academy’s mobile flashover simulator, which was set up at the Carnival Grounds.

The simulator features two rooms, an upper chamber where fire is ignited and a lower chamber where seven firefighters observe real smoke movement and extreme heat changes doors are opened and closed.
Each firefighter completed two 30+ minute rotations, one focused on understanding the science of smoke and flame behavior, and the second rotation focused on scenario based survival techniques. The fire and smoke were real, but safely controlled, allowing our crews to learn in a realistic and structured environment.

We are thankful to be able to host this unique training opportunity here in East Waterford along side some of our neighboring departments who we work with in real life emergencies.

Check out our page for the many videos and pictures as we continue posting them.

Once again, I’d just like to say a huge thank you for the invitation to today’s training event in East Waterford. This was the first time for me seeing the Flashover Simulator, it was definitely an interesting experience and like I stated before, I was able to gain some insight into another aspect of the fire service.
