You may not have to due to the theorem of Ehresmann. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ehresmann%27s_theorem

It states something like most surjective submersions are in fact fibre bundles (most meaning that this is the case if the surjective submersion is proper, and I am not sure how dense proper maps are).

So i think the answer is that you don't have to. Also, (smooth?) fibrant replacement can be done to any map so that you get a LES in homtopy (although this map may no longer be a submersion.). hope this helps, sean
