Origin and Fundamental Design Concept
CFBT History and Design Concept
Container-based live-fire training facilities originated in Europe in the 1990s with the development of Compartment Fire Behavior Training (CFBT). The standardized container design enables fast installation, modular expansion, and cost-effective deployment, making it a globally adopted solution for modern firefighter training centers.
This training facility is designed to realistically reproduce fire behavior in enclosed spaces. It supports key fire scenarios such as flashover, behind-the-door fires, gas cylinder fires, and electrical fires. Flame heights can reach up to 2 meters, with large burn-over areas and high-volume smoke output, creating immersive and operationally realistic training conditions.
An intelligent industrial control system with IoT functionality enables one-click ignition and shutdown, real-time temperature monitoring, early warning, and rapid cooling, ensuring automation, safety, and operational reliability. As the core platform for CFBT, the facility is designed according to fire science principles, balancing realism with full instructor control and trainee safety.
The system uses clean fuels such as LPG and natural gas and complies with international safety standards including DIN 14097 and BGV C1. Integrated sound and visual effects further enhance realism and situational awareness during training.

CFBT Integrated Fire and Rescue Training Container
Wood-Fired Module
The combustion zone floor is paved with refractory fireproof bricks. Chains and shelving systems allow solid wooden fuel to be securely fixed on walls and ceilings, ensuring stable and repeatable combustion scenarios. Smoke exhaust, fire control devices, and fire shields are installed in the ceiling and operated from the training zone. Fire hose inlets are installed on the exterior walls to support operational training.
The flashover training container is divided into a combustion zone and a training zone, separated by fireproof partitions and fire doors. At the interface between zones, ceilings and side walls are equipped with insulation layers and weather-resistant steel fireproof panels.

This live-fire smoke and heat simulation training facility has been independently developed to improve firefighter safety and operational readiness. It prepares fire officers and rescue personnel for unpredictable, high-risk situations encountered during real firefighting operations.
The system simulates combustion phenomena, emergency evacuation, confined space navigation, and interior fireground operations. It enhances emergency response capability, situational awareness, and self-rescue skills while reducing injury risk.
The facility integrates active and passive safety protection, one-click system startup, and a fully intelligent IoT control platform to ensure safe, reliable, and repeatable training.
Temperature alarms activate at:
- 200°C at 1.2 meters
-
600°C at 2.2 meters

Live Fire Simulation Training Facility
Theater Fires
Residential Fires
The live fire smoke and heat simulation training facility realistically recreates the chaotic conditions of indoor building fires, providing a true-to-life fire incident simulation.
It covers scenarios such as residential fires, internet café and theater fires, warehouse fires, new energy battery fires, hotel fires, Karaoke Lounge (KTV) fires, hospital fires, nursing home fires, school fires, restaurant and central kitchen fires, and fires in small commercial venues.
Based on the characteristics of petrochemical process units and common accident hazards, 1:1 replicas of kettles, towers, pumps, valves, and pipe racks are constructed as training installations, with multiple realistic accident scenarios arranged, including fire points, leakage points, and explosion points.
