Recently the Fire Science program visited the Illinois Fire Service Institute (IFSI). This institution serves firefighters throughout Illinois and the world. World-class instructors deliver more than 14,000 class hours to students online, on campus and at regional training centers throughout the state.
The Champaign campus includes 28 acres of real-life training props and features one of the few locations in the U.S. that still uses live-fire structural burn training. The site includes training and educational props for hazardous materials, collapsed buildings, high-rise buildings, trenches and vehicle rescue. A streetscape structure mimics a real city block with a variety of store fronts and an area is dedicated to agricultural training.
