The multi-level structure is constructed from recycled shipping containers with an exterior stair tower. It includes two “burn rooms” with burn carts to allow for contained live fire training. Other features include moveable wall systems to allow for multiple configurations of simulated interiors and roof and wall breach panels for access training. It also contains smoke generating capabilities and multiple grappling points. This project is one of the joint efforts that JRA and the City’s Fire Department joined forces on.
