More controlled live fire practice for better learning and safer training.
ASEC continues to improve the practical training experience by using a more controlled fire training setup that supports safer practice, cleaner sessions and more consistent learning.
Conventional live fire practice
Practical but often harder to control, with more smoke, longer reset time and less consistency between practice rounds.
Controlled simulator based practice
Designed to support safer control, cleaner burning, faster reset and a more consistent hands on learning experience.
Actual training activities and equipment setup may vary depending on programme level, venue arrangement and safety requirements.
Choose how you want to train your fire response team.
ASEC offers Firefighting training through scheduled public classes and in-house training arrangements, depending on your team size, site risk and preferred training setup.
