Our Story
Fire Training Solutions was founded in 2008 to meet the need for safe and effective fire training. Our dedication to this goal has enabled us to become Western Canada’s leading supplier of containerized fire training structures.
Our manufacturing partner is Southland Trailer Corp, one of Canada’s largest and most diverse trailer companies. Located in Lethbridge, Alberta, it operates out of their 160,000 square foot facility with 300 employees. They are certified by the Canadian Welding Bureau, so you know your project is in good hands.
“Fire departments do not often have the opportunity to train their personnel with live fires. This is why it is so important to consider training structures. This equips firefighters with the skills that allow them to do things correctly and more efficiently. A good learning tool.”
– Mike Bailey, owner of Fire Training Solutions

In addition to our permanent structures, we offer mobile trailers, flashover simulation, firefighter rescue and RIT props, roof simulators, rappel towers, confined space training, and SCBA confidence trainers.
In other words: we provide everything necessary to prepare firefighters with much needed training for real life situations.
Our Process
Our process is designed to create satisfied customers from start to finish.
Working closely with our clients, we design a project that meets the individual needs of the local fire department at the best price possible.
We supply engineered drawings, facility tours, site visits, and expert advice. We manage the build and delivery process, complete with on-site installation.
Upon completion, we offer a day of training to help the fire department staff familiarize themselves with their new training structure.
