Team Building & Outings
Let us work with you on a fun day out your team will never forget! Get in touch and start building your incredible experience today! This is not your typical axe throwing party.
Your team will have the chance to play with firefighting equipment and props, from thermal imaging cameras, to a smoke-filled room-the options are endless!
Have you ever wanted to drag a firefighting dummy while wearing bunker gear? Or maybe you want to don a hazmat suit and run an obstacle course with your colleagues? What about spraying water from a fire hose, or better yet, and airport firefighting truck!
An unparalleled location
If the props and facilities don’t impress you, maybe working beside Canada’s largest international airport will. Try not to be distracted by the jets speeding past you on the other side of the fence.
Along with our unique airport location, FESTI is an innovator in sustainable design and technology. We are proud to hold a LEED Silver rating for our environmentally responsible building and we are committed to environmentally sustainable training practices.
Inside and outside, our space is truly like no other. Here, you’ll find:
-
Confined space building
This three-story tower simulates an underground manhole rescue. Trainees enter from above and each level provides a safety for evacuation.
-
Rescue tower
This five-level structure allows for multiple emergency response scenarios, such as interior search and high-rise firefighting, aerial platform training, technical rope rescue and ladder training. A smoke room that directs simulated smoke to either a section of the tower or throughout the building enhances training scenarios. The dense smoke is generated from a water-based product, making it safe for training and education purposes.
-
Burn building
Experience real fire conditions up to 900 degrees Fahrenheit in a closely supervised but remotely monitored setting. This building has “sacrificial” masonry panels and other innovations that keep it standing when it should be burning to the ground.
-
Aircraft training mock-ups
Aircraft mock-up fires use propane, which is both realistic and environmentally sound. There are two mock-ups in a large space that permits vehicle access during training.
-
Auto extrication area
Learn challenging motor vehicle rescue in a safe environment. The area is large enough for scenarios such as rescue from a tractor trailer or a school bus.
-
Hazardous materials training site
The hazmat training site encompasses a 15-acre site. The special operations training area includes transport trucks, buses, rolling terrain, and an out-building to simulate realistic scenarios.
-
Trans Canada rail car CCPX 911
For its service life, CCPX 911 travelled from coast to coast training emergency responders for potential incidents involving rail cars. The rail car now resides at FESTI as a static training prop for training emergency responders from around the world.
