Rescue Training Tower
The Tri County Tech Emergency Services Live Fire Training Facility has been designed to afford training opportunities for various public safety disciplines. The facility is comprised of Connex boxes/Shipping containers built by American Fire Training Systems. This Class A steel fire training tower (Live Burn Training Facility) provides the basis for both “live fire” along with smoke conditions for training and skill enhancement for fire personnel and other agencies. The facility is adaptable with “moveable” partitions throughout the multi-story facility so students can be challenged by a myriad of scenarios.
To ensure the maximum effective use of this facility and the surrounding training grounds, this procedure has been developed. Identifying a process during operations as well as numerous safety procedures, these guidelines aim to provide the best possible training with the highest margin of safety.
It is the intent of Tri County Tech to provide a safe and realistic training facility as well as one which will enhance the learning opportunity and skill development of those who use this facility.
