Overview

Summary

The City of Clermont Fire Department is soliciting sealed bids from qualified vendors to supply and deliver used, cargo-worthy shipping containers for the development of a new fire training facility. These containers will serve as the structural foundation for multiple training props, including hose advancement, search and rescue, and other fireground operations.

Background

Shipping containers are widely used by fire departments to create live fire training buildings and specialized training environments. By modifying containers to mimic residential or commercial structures, departments can safely conduct controlled burns to simulate real-world fire scenarios.

These live burn containers help firefighters:

• Practice interior fire attack tactics

• Train in search and rescue operations

• Navigate through smoke-filled rooms

• Apply ventilation techniques under realistic conditions

Multiple containers can be stacked or connected to form multi-story buildings, allowing trainees to face different fire dynamics across various levels and environments.

Containers are also ideal for Search and Rescue Training. They can be configured into maze-like interiors to simulate collapsed buildings or confined spaces, allowing firefighters to:

• Locate and rescue trapped victims

• Navigate tight quarters

• Communicate effectively in stressful, low-visibility scenarios

Because of their flexibility, containers can be reconfigured regularly, offering fresh and unpredictable layouts for each training session.
