Why Live Fire Training
Your job is saving lives and protecting property. Our job is helping you safely prepare for danger.
There is simply no substitute for live fire training. A live fire training structure provides conditions similar to actual fire calls: searing heat, smoke-filled halls and rooms, and multiple floors where victims may be in need of rescue.
A properly equipped tower provides this environment in a controlled fashion — with advanced heat monitoring systems to alert training officers to excessive heat, and an available smoke evacuation system to quickly cool and clear the structure if needed.

With models ranging from mobile to high-rise, our towers train for nearly any exercise.
