Live fire training?

Sometimes Japan comes up with really interesting twists. The news had a piece about a new ... I want to call it a museum, but that's not quite right. A place for kids to play? Kind of. For example, at one area, the kids were handed real fire extinguishers, and got to put out a real fire! In another area, the parents and kids got a chance to run or crawl, don't walk, through smoke-filled corridors, holding a towel over their mouth. There were gas-masked guides available, but if possible, they guided themselves through the maze. Anyway, this "playground" gave these kids the opportunity to experience what happens in a real fire, and learn how to react and what to do.
