FIP-FIP9731 - Max Fire Box Live Fire Training Course
Course Description
Today’s firefighters are facing unique challenges compared to their predecessors. Live fire
training is restricted in regard to fuel loads and it is often difficult to acquire on a regular
basis unless they are fortunate to have a Class A training facility. And even with a Class A
Burn building, firefighters are being shown fire behavior definitions and concepts in a non-
realistic environment due to the limitations on
the types of fuel loads that can be used and
ventilation conditions. However, with the Max
Fire Box, students can witness first hand fire
behavior definitions like never before! These
definitions literally “come to life” before their
eyes and they are able comprehend them in a
safe environment prior to witnessing it
inside a live fire environment. This training
equates to better prepared, more educated,
and safer firefighters; or what we refer to as
“intelligently aggressive” firefighters.
