Fire Training Facilities









We are a specialized provider of custom training facilities.
- ContainerWest is the leader in Western Canada for live fire and confined space training structures. We are the only supplier vertically integrated from design concept through final gas sign-off. We offer RFP drawing and text support, stamped drawings and engineering schedules in support of permit applications, site work including trenching and concrete foundations, structure fabrication (with certified welders in accordance with Building Code requirements), field install and gas sign off.  ContainerWest is a family-owned, Western Canadian business.
- For those customers looking for propane or natural gas live-fire indoor or outdoor burn props, our system is 3rd-party design-certified in Canada, TSBC-friendly, and CSA gas code-compliant. We work with you to use local gasfitters to do the piping and assist with testing. Outdoor props include: a simple steel car, a deluxe SS car, a BBQ, and a dumpster. We have also done mechanical equipment and propane cylinder props. Our igniter for both indoor and outdoor props is extremely strong, ensuring maximum reliability in the worst conditions.
- Typical structure assemblies include: interior/exterior stairs, anchor points, shutter windows, doors, open floor areas, partition walls, breach walls, moveable walls, hinged walls, hatches, rappel bars, balconies, railings, swing gates, sloped roof props, roof or attic breach frames, smoke systems and standpipes. Programmable elevator and fire panel simulators are our newest features. As a custom builder, we can offer specialized designs for your unique needs, and for those with tighter budgets, we offer ex-rental fleet containers or even loose assemblies for you to install. We work with you to develop a fire training facility that meets the current and future training needs of you and your crew.
