Spread over approximately 4 acres, the Fire Fighting Hard at Karanja (Uran) is equipped with three distinct facilities - a ship’s mock-up chamber , a smoke chamber , a mock-up helicopter. These three facilities are utilised for conducting demonstrations and practical fire fighting as a part of basic and advanced STCW Fire fighting courses, Offshore emergency response courses and helicopter safety courses. Candidates are conveyed to the practical site by a ferry craft and are trained under the watchful eyes of an experienced Chief Engineer and eight fire fighting Instructors having more than 25 years of experience in the Indian Navy.
The Centre has a large purpose built mock-up for conduct of land based firefighter training and a range of facilities for specialist firefighter and emergency response training. These facilities include a rope rescue tower and a confined space training facility.
