A.3.3.27.2 Live Fire Training Structure.
Live fire training structures include structures built of conventional building materials, such as concrete, masonry, and steel, as well as structures built of containers, in which live fire training evolutions are conducted. This includes fixed structures that are marketed as "mobile props" such as the following:
- Pre-engineered metal structures that can be disassembled and transported to a new site
- Containerized structures in which one or more containers are assembled, whether single story or multi-story, for purposes of interior live fire training evolutions.
Live fire training structures also include fire behavior labs (also known as "flashover" containers) and mobile live fire training props.
Live fire training structures do not include structures that are used for training in the use of SCBA where only smoke conditions are created, without a live fire, and the participants are not subjected to risk of the effects of fire other than the smoked produced.
