Firefighter Training Videos

Because of safety issues, firefighters aren't allowed to take video cameras into live fires, so there is next to no videos of combating actual fire. Instead, I found a bunch of useful training videos to draw ideas from.

The simulators are often larger buildings constructed from huge metal storage containers, so they won't burn down completely each training session

Note how they form a shield of water with the spray to approach safely and smother the fire.
