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.
