Fire Training Containers & Mobile Training Units

SAFE, REPEATABLE FIREFIGHTER TRAINING

LION’s TrainingReady Units (TRUs), which resemble shipping containers, combine realism and safety to provide the ultimate firefighter training experience. More than simple props, these systems are fully integrated, modular training environments that support a range of scenarios—from live fire and confined space training to damage control simulations.

Our fire training containers have moveable walls and interchangeable props to let you create custom scenarios. Each TRU comes with a slew of safety features so you can focus more on the training and less on the risk.

These turnkey systems deliver consistent, controlled conditions and are a great solution for department and organizations looking for scalable training structures.

Right Training, Right Tools

Our TRUs support a range of firefighter training scenarios and simulations. No matter your objective, we can meet your needs. Choose from Confined Space, Digital Fire Simulation, Smart Class A, Smart Class B and Damage Control.

Minimal Downtime

The built-in intelligent controls make it easy to start, stop and repeat firefighter training sessions. That means less downtime—and more time for multiple crews to train.

Flexible, Versatile

The flexible design lets you quickly create custom layouts and real-world configurations. The result? Your team masters the skill they’re learning, not the scenario they’re in.

Safety Is Standard

Fully automated safety features monitor temperatures, ventilation, gas levels and more. These safeguards help reduce risks compared with uncontrolled live-fire sessions.

Training Ready Unit Types

Choose from a range of fire training containers and systems designed to meet your specific goals.

Confined Space

These TrainingReady Units feature modular cages and smoke generators to help firefighters practice working in confined spaces with limited visibility. You can quickly adjust the layout and add obstacles to ramp up the realism.

Digital Fire

Our digital units combine LED flames, sound and smoke to mimic a real fire. In these digital simulators, flames respond to a water hose or laser nozzle—and the fire only goes out if you use proper firefighting techniques.

Smart Class B

Work on live flames in this propane-fed unit, which has state-of-the-art safety features and control systems. Our Class B units come with a smoke distribution system and a rollover simulator to put you in the middle of the action.

Smart Class A

Experience real fire, heat and smoke in a controlled environment. Class A units come with a burn crib, fuel-assisted pilot module, high-temp insulation and a water-suppression system—plus temperature monitors and central ventilation.

Damage Control

Train on shutting valves and plugging leaks in this TRU, which can fill with over 2,500 gallons of water. Strobe lights and sound effects add to the realism. And in case of emergency, the entire unit can be drained in 30 seconds.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is a fire training container?

A fire training container is a modular system designed to simulate real-world fire and emergency scenarios in a controlled environment. These units allow firefighters to train safely while maintaining realistic conditions.

What is the difference between Class A and Class B fire training?

Class A training involves ordinary combustible materials like wood and paper, while Class B training focuses on flammable liquids and gases. Each requires different training approaches and fire behavior understanding.

How quickly can training units be deployed?

LION’s TrainingReady Units are designed for rapid deployment and setup. Once installed at your location, you can quickly train your teams with minimal delay.

What types of training can container-based systems support?

They support a wide range of training including live-fire scenarios, confined space work, and search and rescue. They also support ventilation training, firefighter survival and industrial emergency response simulations.

Are fire training containers safe to use?

Yes. These systems are designed with built-in safety controls, monitoring and compliance features to create controlled environments that reduce risk while maintaining realism.

"Why LION? I have interacted with firefighter survival equipment manufacturers for over four decades, but I haven't met any that come close to LION with their sincere and proven interest in understanding (aka LISTENING) to what we, firefighters, genuinely need. Their endless pursuit to listen to the "voices of firefighters" and then utilizing the latest proven firefighting research results in bunker gear that supports us in best taking care of those who need us, as well as each other. From their demonstrated commitment in providing us with what we genuinely need to do the job, to their full and hands on involvement (in research and fiscal support) with the battle to reduce firefighter cancer, LION isn't just words- they are proven action with impressive results."

Billy Goldfeder | Deputy Fire Chief Loveland-Symmes Fire Department

"Recently, the Baton Rouge Fire Department accepted delivery of the ITS Xtreme fire extinguisher training prop and we have hit the ground running. We have trained over 200 people in the proper use of a fire extinguisher in approximately 6 weeks. This new technology is leaps and bounds better and more efficient than the old training method of the burn pan and carbon dioxide extinguishers. We are able to take full advantage of the ability to recharge the extinguishers onsite, thereby allowing us to reach more people effectively. This unit is exponentially easier to setup, use and maintain than previous methods."

Clint L. Sanchez | Baton Rouge Fire Department

"When you combine ease of use, quick set up and tear down time, actual training time, and SAFETY of this training system, there is nothing out there comparable."

George Ostrom | Safety Asst, AMRI Global

"The customer service has been awesome! I did have a problem with one of the fire extinguishers when it was first delivered. I made one phone call and spoke with a technician who immediately sent out a brand new extinguisher. They have contacted me often to make sure that I was completely satisfied and wasn’t having any further problems. It’s not too often that you can not only get a great product, but also great service. I would highly recommend it to others."

Denita Lynch | High Point Fire Department

"I have trained about 125 employees for one company, with great success. The system is very easy to set up, as well as to operate."

Pat Patterson | President LAAP, Inc.

"Thanks to [LION], we have directly cut over $1,000 annually from our contracted fire training and since we have been able to easily train staff, the system has paid for itself; given the cost of contracting out this training to the number of staff we trained ourselves."

Dylan Hayes | Disaster Response Manager, Seattle Children’s Hospital
