Individual training facilities

The indoor scenes of fires are spread over a total of four storeys, which are not only made accessible via the external staircase and exercise facade, but also by means of many indoor connections (e.g. steel spiral staircase). This makes it possible to set up and run training exercises over several floors inside the building as well. This means that training exercises can be designed individually depending on the particular aims of the training course. The large number of options makes it possible for us to keep coming up with new challenges, in order to maintain the optimal training effect.

Kitchen with three fire seats

The kitchen fire training room is located on the ground floor and has three fire seats in all. This fire training room is especially suitable for indoor firefighting, including training in door opening options. The fire training room and anterooms can be filled with smoke at will.

Living room with sofa fire

On the first floor of the pyrodrome building you will find the living room fire training room. The sofa fire is suitable for extinguishing exercises in a classic indoor firefighting scenario. The fire training room and anterooms can be completely filled with smoke.

Bedroom fire with flashover

On the second floor of the pyrodrome building you will find the bedroom with three fire seats: bed, headboard and flashover. This fire training room is also for instruction in the correct behaviour in the case of a flashover. The fire training room and anterooms can be filled with smoke at will.
