School Overview

JIBC’s Maple Ridge Campus, located about 58 kilometres east of Vancouver, is designed for the hands-on firefighting practice and training delivered by the Fire & Safety Division.

Among its unique simulation training props is a three-storey concrete burn building that is regularly set ablaze for firefighters to practice in real-life conditions. A ship’s steel superstructure and hold are used for simulating marine and confined space fire fighting, and an 11-car train derailment is used to train firefighters from across Canada to respond to railway disasters, fires, and chemical spills.
