Dutch term or phrase: ensceneringsdoek
Vertaling voor een bedrijf dat producten verkoopt die gebruikt worden bijvoorbeeld voor het trainen van brandweermannen.

Het ensceneringsdoek voor vlammen is ideaal voor simulatie van vlammen in de buitenlucht of in grote ruimtes. Het doek bestrijkt namelijk in 1 keer een groot oppervlak en de print is van beide kanten zichtbaar.

Ik dacht in eerste instantie aan een 'fire curtain' maar dit is precies het tegenovergestelde, namelijk een gordijn dat brandvertragend werkt. Alvast bedankt voor de input!

+- fire simulation canvas


Explanation:
I can't find any examples of English companies selling similar products, but basically it is a canvas on which flames are printed in order to simulate a real fire for testing purposes. It can be accompanied by a smoke machine, and fire flame projector to make the fire seem even more realistic.
