During training in the CLFTS, firefighters are confronted with real flames, extreme heat, high humidity, severely restricted visibility, and thick smoke. This allows them to train for an emergency as realistically as possible.

Dräger's Containerized Live Fire Training Systems consist of a minimum of one 40’ sea container meeting IICL5 inspection criteria, which has been substantially modified and insulated to accommodate a fire simulator.

The systems are modular and containers can be either stacked or otherwise connected to include additional simulators.

Dräger's Containerized Live Fire Training System is available with different layout options.

In a compact form, it can integrate elements of a fire simulation system for training in accordance with NFPA 1403.

The training system can be equipped with additional props, such as a moveable wall system. Re-configurable wall panels allow for flexible creation of confined space elements.

Other popular options available include smoke simulation, windows, stairs, and confined entry hatches.

In spite of extreme heat, the CLFTS is designed for safety during training.

Redundant safety devices for gas and temperature monitoring in accordance with relevant NFPA and CSA codes and guidelines control the conditions in the fire room. If defined limits are exceeded or the emergency cut-off switch is operated, the system is automatically switched off and forced ventilation is activated.

The Containerized Live Fire Training System offers a multitude of training scenarios, each with a different learning focus. Basic behavioral patterns can be taught as well as the tactics of deployment and extinguishing techniques. The training in the fire container also teaches the firefighters how to handle heat in the presence of fires.

The accessible roof of the container can also be used as an extension to the training scenarios.
