CFBT Fire Behavior Training Facility
In a safe, controlled live-fire environment, train firefighters to read fire, anticipate flashover, and apply the right hose tactics — that is the core value of CFBT.
Reading the fire
From suppression to understanding fire
CFBT (Compartment Fire Behavior Training) teaches more than suppression — it trains firefighters to understand fire behavior: how smoke layers build, when flashover approaches, and how hose streams affect the fireground.
Solid-fuel fires reproduce real fire behavior, combined with temperature monitoring and ventilation control for training that is both realistic and safe.
Designed to NFPA 1403/1402 and relevant domestic standards, with interlocking liners protecting structure and extending facility life.

Core capabilities
Six capabilities of CFBT facilities
From smoke layer observation to safety controls — built for fire behavior reading in live fire.
Smoke layer observation
Solid fuels reproduce smoke layer development, rollover, and flashover precursors for fire behavior reading.
Controlled heat exposure
Temperature monitoring at ceiling and working level balances realism with crew safety.
Flashover warning
Observe flashover progression from a safe distance so trainees learn to recognize critical signs and act in time.
Hose stream & ventilation tactics
Pulsed application and ventilation control train hose stream use and smoke layer management.
Observation & thermal imaging
Dedicated observation positions and thermal imaging support fireground reading and instructor debrief.
Safety & repeatability
Controlled fuel, interlocks, and repeatable conditions support high-frequency standardized training.
