Mobile Fire Training Unit (MFTU) - The Dalles

The Mobile Fire Training Unit (MFTU) contains a permanent propane-fired bed prop and rollover simulator. Portable propane-fired pans can be relocated in the unit and covered with other simulated props to provide a variety of live-fire exercises. The unit’s onboard generator makes it totally self-contained and portable, though an optional shore power connection is available.

Movable interior wall panels enable instructors to change the layout of the unit to present participants with different scenarios. Several panels have mock doors or other moveable components. The integrated smoke generator creates a dark smoke that forces members to crawl and search in realistic type conditions. The collapsible second story provides the means for performing other essential skills like laddering, vertical ventilation, and multistory fire attack. A few individuals can easily erect the second story in approximately 30 minutes.

Facial hair requirements will be strictly adhered to for the training. A DPSST Live Fire Release Form will be sent out to the area Fire Chiefs to fill out and sign for their members participating. The forms will be collected by the training coordinator at the time of training.

Please bring full PPE (turnouts, helmet, fire hood, and scba with extra bottle)
