This simulator consists of a series of vaults and pipes which create a wide variety of confined space rescue scenarios. The simulator is built grade level with access/egress doors for drill set-up, evolutions, or emergency access. Manhole access is provided topside for the majority of scenarios. A gradual slope has been paved leading up to the top of the simulator which can be used for apparatus, tool staging and tripod deployment.

 This simulator was designed by rescuers for a realistic training environment. This prop was built at grade level for safety and consists of various sections to allow participants a training environment for multiple scenarios; including an 8' straight, a 12' deep, and an intersecting "T" trench. 

Many scenarios can be simulated using the variety of available props. A MC 312 (corrosives) and MC 306 (gasoline/liquid) are available as well as many other simulators. The Fairfield County Hazardous Materials Incident Response Team utilizes this facility for its monthly training exercises. 

The FRFS has a large area in the rear of the building that can be set up for driving exercises including Q Endorsement training.
