The Bomberos of Costa Rica are the country's only firefighters and they do not conduct any live-fire training, which is not only impractical but also dangerous. Our goal was to define the requirements needed for a live-fire training structure tailored to their needs. This was achieved by conducting extensive research and interviews with professionals. In doing so, our final recommendations were compiled into an optimized design, modeled in 3D software, and cost analyzed, to present to the Bomberos.
