Today’s firefighters are facing unique challenges compared to their predecessors. Live fire training is often restricted regarding fuel loads, and it is often difficult to acquire on a regular basis unless they are fortunate to have a Class A training facility. And even with a Class A Burn building, firefighters are being shown fire behavior definitions and concepts in a non- realistic environment due to the limitations on the types of fuel loads that can be used and ventilation conditions.

However, with the Max Fire Box and small-scale fire props, students can witness firsthand fire behavior definitions like never before! These definitions literally “come to life” before their eyes and they are able comprehend them in a safe environment prior to witnessing it inside a live fire environment. This training equates to better prepared, more educated, and safer firefighters; or what we refer to as “intelligently aggressive” firefighters.

This classroom hybrid training consists of a 2.5-hour classroom session followed by a 1.5-hour live fire demonstration with the Max Fire Box (or equivalent) where those concepts are brought to life before the firefighter’s eyes.

This class keeps the student engaged, provides hands on time with thermal imaging cameras, and the class provides additional resources for the students in the form of access to a shared drive folder with a large amount of thermal imaging resources.

Insight Fire Training will provide a large amount of thermal imaging cameras for students to choose from along with a customized presentation that will allow the students to apply this newfound knowledge immediately upon completion of the course.
