The Training Centre for Civil Protection and Disaster Relief of the Republic of Slovenia is part of the Slovenian Ministry of Defence and was established for the sole purpose of education and training in protection against natural and other disasters. The Training Centre headquarters is located in Ig and has units in Logatec, Pekre and Sežana.
Demonstration Simulator: The demonstration simulator is intended for the observation of indoor fire development and the simulation of flashover conditions. Students can observe the neutral zone, diffusion flames, changes in temperature, fire gases and incoming air. They can also practice different methods of extinguishing – nozzle techniques (heat check, gas cooling, surface cooling, water as steam, extinguishing the flames).
Attack Simulator: The attack simulator is intended for training in indoor fire extinguishing techniques for basic structural fires. Students get to know door entrance procedure – heat check, low position, gas cooling; basic search and rescue procedure; and nozzle extinguishing techniques. They also learn safety procedures in indoor fire interventions.

Fire House 1: This three-storey simulator is intended for training in indoor fire extinguishing techniques for complex structural fires. It enables different kinds of training: fire behaviour, basement fires, search and rescue (warm or hot), apartment fires, apartment fires with positive pressure ventilation, multi-storey ventilation techniques, and attic fires (working with aerial ladders). Students can practise advanced firefighting and leadership skills.

Fire House 2: This two-storey simulator is intended for training in indoor fire extinguishing techniques for complex structural fires – basement fires in conditions of limited heat and smoke ventilation. It enables different kinds of training: basement fires, search and rescue (warm or hot), and high expanding foam filling. Students can practise basic and advanced firefighting skills and leadership skills.
