Fire training infrastructure is undergoing a revolutionary transformation. This session explores advancements in live fire training simulators and facilities that are reshaping how firefighters prepare for real-world emergencies while maximizing training value and long-term facility investment. Key topics include: community-specific design; multi-purpose, multi-use facilities; multi-fuel capabilities; mission-specific simulators; strategic facility layout; long-term value engineering; advanced gas props; improved reliability; and VR/AR integration. We will provide actionable insights for facility planners and department leaders designing the next generation of fire training infrastructure. We’ll also cover value considerations in modern training facilities and prop design, some of the challenges in traditional training facilities and props, key trends in facility and prop/simulator design and features, important aspects to long-term value and longevity, and alternative training delivery methods.
