The upcoming 2026 edition, NFPA 1400, Standard on Fire Service Training, will be a new standard that combines and updates several NFPA's existing standards 1402, 1403, 1404, 1407, 1408, 1410, and 1451. Besides consolidation of previous standards into one document, revisions will also have an impact on all fire training operations and facilities, including facilities located at dedicated fire training centers, fire stations, and other locations. The facilities portion of NFPA 1400 (formerly NFPA 1402) was overhauled to create new, minimum requirements for all training facilities. This important change will be reviewed, showing how it addresses substandard training structures and props to improve safety for training participants. It is being updated again for the 2026 edition, affecting new designs while also being retroactive to all existing training facilities. Examples include live fire training structures (burn buildings), drill towers, and technical rescue props, including props built into fire stations, that require modifications to remain in compliance with NFPA's minimum requirements.
