Abstract: Compartment Fire Behavior Training (CFBT) is a key method to enhance firefighters' practical combat capabilities. It helps fire rescue person master the laws of fire and smoke characteristics, improve their ability to assess and make decisions at fire scenes, and plays a vital role in optimizing practical strategies, improving rescue efficiency, and ensuring safety. This paper reveals the internal logic by researching the differentiated development paths of CFBT systems in the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, and China across three core elements: hardware standards, curriculum systems, and organizational implementation. The study finds that the CFBT systems in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia relatively exhibit characteristics of high modularity, strong adaptability, integration of theory and practice, and systemic resilience. Although CFBT in China started late, it developed rapidly. Currently, it places greater emphasis on skill training, and there is an urgent need to establish a standardized system. The research results indicate that China can explore the construction of a distinctive system featuring "stratified and coordinated standards with dynamic revision, modular curriculum design with systematic integration, and hierarchical organizational resilience with specialized certification". This system aims to promote hardware construction to achieve "national leadership, local supplementation, and dynamic iteration", transform the curriculum system from "skill-oriented" to "in-depth theory-practice modules", and in organizational implementation, explore a nested mode of professional qualification certification and promote the development and popularization of empirical models.
