The tower portion of the burn building, seen here on the left is used for high angle rope rescue training. The sides of the building are designed to be laddered. The roof of the center section has panels used for ventilation training.

The unit pictured on the left is the artificial smoke generator. The smoke generator uses a special solution that is non-toxic to produce artificial smoke. Using valves (seen near the base of the white pipes) the smoke can be distributed throughout the building at different points.

The white PVC, 90 degree elbow pictured on the left is one of the artificial smoke outlets. The pipe next to that will carry the artificial smoke to the next level.

This is the first floor spot burn area. This is one of the areas used for fire attack training. The fire here is limited to 600 degrees.

This is the attic spot burn area on the third level. Fires here are also limited to 600 degrees.

This is the first floor high-temperature burn room. There is one on the first floor and one on the second floor. These rooms are rate to 1,200 degrees. Structures such as 2 x 4 framed walls can be constructed in this room to build smaller rooms.

Movable walls on the second floor allow instructors to configure rooms into many different sizes and shapes for search and rescue training. The door is used to practice forcible entry.

Each burn area has one or more probes that constantly monitor the temperature of that area. When the temperature reaches a preprogrammed level, the alarm sounds and measures are taken to protect any firefighter that may be in the building.
