Live Fire Training

As part of Hampshire & Isle of Wight Fire & Rescue Authority, 3SFire has use of the state-of-the-art live fire unit, built on the drill yard at Hampshire and Isle of Wight Service Headquarters in Eastleigh, Hampshire.

The modern facility is one of very few of its kind, presenting firefighters with the experience to tackle fires in controlled situations, in an environment where they are able to study how fire behaves in different conditions, and learn how best to respond. It has been designed in conjunction with firefighters and will replicate what they could find themselves faced with when responding to fire calls.

It provides a flexible space for crews to train in and allows for a variety of scenarios including one setup which replicates firefighting on a ship. The ground floor is based upon a mechanics garage with the first floor designed like a typical flat. The second floor has been created as an office layout. The building has live temperature monitoring and filtration systems and will allow us to provide you with bespoke scenarios according to your requirements.
