Fire & Emergency Training Facilities
Training Facility
We design and build multi-level container training facilities for fire and emergency services. When a service needs to run fire safety, search and rescue, forcible entry, and tactical exercises in one place, we build a facility that puts all of it on a single site, so teams train for real-life situations without travelling between locations.
Each facility is engineered for realistic training: smoke simulation throughout, breachable walls, confined-space areas, internal stairs between levels, and roofs reinforced to take foot traffic for search and rescue. It’s built to Australian standards, durable enough for repeated hard use, and relocatable if the service’s needs change.
- Multi-level container facilities for fire, rescue, and tactical training
- Smoke simulation to imitate real-life fire conditions
- Breachable walls, confined-space areas, and reinforced trafficable roofs
- Built to Australian standards and the building code for stacked containers

Multi-Level Training Facilities
We build the facility from multiple containers stacked and joined into one multi-level resource. A delivered project used eight containers, seven 40ft and one 20ft, to create a facility teams could use for fire safety, search and rescue, and tactical training in a single location. The layout is built around how the service actually trains.
Realistic Training Environments
The facility is fitted to imitate real conditions. Smoke-making machines fill the structure for fire and search training, walls are built to be breached and smashed through, and a black interior supports night-training scenarios. Confined-space areas and internal stairs between levels give teams the range of situations they need to rehearse.
Reinforced for Operational Use
All container roofs are reinforced to carry trafficable loads for search and rescue, and an abseiling platform is fitted with safety railings. The facility is built to Australian standards and the building code for stacked containers, with a 10kPa corten steel exterior that takes impact and weather.

Case Study: Fire and Emergency Training Facility
A state fire and emergency service needed a training facility at their headquarters where firefighters could run real-life scenarios, fire safety, forcible entry, search and rescue, all in one location, with room for the state police service to run tactical training too. Our Technical Solutions team designed, delivered, and installed a multi-level facility from eight containers (seven 40ft and one 20ft). It was fitted with smoke-making machines to fill the structure and imitate real conditions, breachable walls, confined-space areas, internal stairs, and roofs reinforced for trafficable loads, giving teams a safe, versatile environment for the full range of emergency services training.
Fire & Emergency Training Facilities FAQs
Fire safety, search and rescue, forcible entry, and tactical training, in one facility. With smoke simulation, breachable walls, confined-space areas, and reinforced roofs for trafficable access, a single facility covers the range of scenarios a service would otherwise need several sites for.
Yes. We stack and join containers into a multi-level facility with internal stairs between levels, and reinforce the roofs to carry foot traffic for search and rescue. The delivered example used eight containers across multiple levels with an abseiling platform on top.
Smoke-making machines fill the structure to imitate real fire conditions, so teams train for visibility, navigation, and search in an environment close to the real thing. Combined with a black interior for night training, it lets a service rehearse the conditions they actually face.
