The man in the photo is not really in a fire building without turnout gear and SCBA. Rather, it's a simulated room and contents fire in BullEx's show booth and the man 'extinguishing' the fire is a representative of the company. BullEx's simulated fire board reacts to water streams, darkens down and eventually goes out with sufficient application of water. Smoke machines provide added scene realism.
