In the field, the experience and skills gained during fire trainings can save lives. With our range of training systems, many different fire scenarios can be simulated realistically. Train firefighting skills and tactics as close to real life as possible and get prepared for you next missions.

The collection of Dräger fire training systems is extensive with options that will fit the budget for your fire department, community college, fire academy or other needs.

After two Firefighters in Sweden lost their lives to flashover in 1986, the Swedish government asked the country’s Rescue Service to develop a burn behavior program that included flashover training. The intent of the program was to help Firefighters recognize extreme fire behavior and avoid injuries and death.

Dräger brought this live-fire training program to North America in 1990 and delivered hundreds of systems in the U.S. and Canada to fire departments, fire academies, community colleges, airports, military agencies, and more. Dräger Swede Systems and Dräger certified instructional training programs have been designed and delivered in accordance with training methods developed by the Swedish Rescue Services Agency through the Swedish Rescue Training Center.

Learning to recognize warning signs and react accordingly are skills critical to every firefighter. The Dräger Swede Phase 1 helps prepare firefighters for flashovers — one of the most dangerous risks in any fire. The Phase 1 Mobile provides a controlled environment specially engineered for learning and built to last.

The Phase 1 Mobile allows fire training academies, community colleges, and regional organizations to take this experience on the road. It can be hauled and set up easily.

The Phase 1 training system demonstrates fire behavior, progression, flashover indicators, as well as prevention techniques. Trainees from your department can closely observe typical fire behavior three feet below the burn chamber. Firefighters will witness ignition, the phases of fire development, and the indicators that lead to a flashover. Your firefighting team can learn about and witness first-hand ventilation-limited and fuel-limited fires. By experiencing these conditions, trainees can learn to recognize warning signs and develop nozzle skills that can delay flashover and permit a rapid escape from this dangerous phenomenon.

The Dräger Swede Phase 2 System expands on fire behavior lessons from Phase 1 and puts them in a controlled, live-fire training scenario to fight the fire.

Dräger’s Phase 2 Mobile Unit combines the training of Phase 2 with the benefits of a multipurpose skill facility. Instructors can conduct numerous dynamic scenarios in this 48-foot mobile unit by using additional training devices offered by Dräger in conjunction with its live-fire capability.

Firefighters enter the unit, identify the level of fire development, and use proper nozzle techniques to control the fire. Instructors maintain control throughout the scenario, operating the ventilation chimney.

The Dräger Swede Phase 3 System trains firefighters on the warning signs of backdraft and the intensity of an explosion. For exterior observation only, the Phase 3 is a laboratory configured from a 20-foot container that teaches your team about conditions and indicators that lead to a backdraft and how to eliminate its occurrence. Your firefighting team will receive expert instruction on designated roles during the actual observation exercise and what tools will be used during the simulation.

The Dräger Swede Phase 5 System simulates a fire in multi-story, single-family dwelling structure. This flexible unit leverages the lessons learned from Phases 1–4 (size up, breach, ventilate, enter, search and rescue, attack and overhaul).

The Phase 5 is the ideal complement to the other Phases but is also a cost-effective standalone training facility. We also offer fully customized Phase 5 Modified versions for your unique needs.

The Dräger Swede Phase 6 System simulates the challenging environment of a hotel or apartment building fire. It has a 70-foot central hallway and 20-foot containers as burn chambers. This wood-fueled system prepares trainees for fire attack, smoke conditions, search and rescue, and nozzle techniques through the main corridor. Due to the length of the central hallway and the number of potential burn chambers, the design offers various training scenarios.

The Dräger Mobile Live Fire Training Unit (MLFTU) is a 53-foot, multi-purpose training vehicle designed for versatility of training and ease of transport. It is equipped with an on-board generator, a supply of gas cylinders and a second story that can be hydraulically raised during operation and lowered for transport.

Our MLFTUs are available with different layout options based on your individual training requirements and budget. Typical configurations include one or two fires, a control and monitoring station, and gas and power for self-sufficient operation.
