The Structure Fire project is the most used on the field. This structure represents the average 2 story residential. It has rooms, interior stairway, bedrooms with bathroom between upstairs, and the garage with patio above. The main fuel is hay, and no outside materials, such as furniture and pallets are allowed due to the extreme heat generated. The roof has openings to allow for vertical ventilation.

The inside ceilings are covered with steel plates and cooling water flows behind them to avoid spalling the concrete from the heat.
