Who we are…
Symtech specializes in live fire simulation technologies utilizing environmentally
friendly propane. Our Live Fire Simulator Technology is fully compliant with the NFPA
1402 Standard on Facilities for Fire Training and Associated Props. In addition to our
LPG-fueled live fire training systems, we offer a full complement of Class “A” training

Our commitment to excellence…
Safety…
Symtech is committed to the safety of system operators and trainees alike. Our
systems are fully compliant with NFPA 1402, which became a standard (rather than a
guide) beginning in 2019. Unlike older systems, our offerings are designed from the
ground up with this new Standard in mind. We utilize the highest quality components
available including pilot and main burners systems, valves, and electronics.
Realism…
We are committed to delivering training realism with thermal output, flame
sizes, flame variability, and smoke output that leads the fire training systems
industry. Environmentally friendly propane and natural gas (indoors only)
alleviate environmental concerns, while delivering consistent training fires at
the push of a button.
Customization…
Within the parameters of the NFPA 1402 Standard, Symtech provides
our customers with the customization and flexibility options they
desire. This is imperative to addressing unique challenges that vary
from department to department and within SOP’s domestically and
abroad. We pride ourselves in delivering timely custom solutions on
time and under budget.
Service…
Service is an essential component in what we do as a company. It is not a
profit center, but rather, it is a vital element in achieving our mission of
enabling AHJ’s to deliver life-saving training when it’s needed most. We not
only stock vital system components to ensure their availability on short
notice, but we also offer turnkey service and maintenance.
