Mobilizing Search & Rescue Training for La Academia Nacional de Bomberos
Public DepositedThe purpose of this project was to create a conceptual design of a mobile training unit for La Academia Nacional de Bomberos that would aim to decentralize search and rescue firefighter training in Costa Rica. This mobile training unit would provide the opportunity for over 30 search and rescue training exercises to be performed at any of the 78 fire stations across the country. Various simulations were implemented into the mobile unit's design, including a customizable labyrinth and a second floor with removable railings and foldable walls. Material availability and cost were considered throughout the design process. Multiple layouts of the design were provided to the Bomberos which reflected the goal to minimize space and maximize training benefits at a feasible cost.
