Firefighters work in a wide variety of conditions and environments. How they prepare themselves for those extreme conditions is critical. The importance of effective fire training facilities cannot be overstated. Firefighters need real-world practice to prepare them for the challenges they encounter in the field. Building realistic training towers that mimic the complexities of actual fire scenarios is a crucial part of this preparation. That’s where our “Build-A-Tower™” and “Build-A-MODx™” platforms come in. With these innovative online applications, you can custom-design your own fixed or modular fire training tower to meet the specific needs and objectives of your firehouse or district. Read on to see how easy it is to design a fire training tower yourself.
Choose from Two Types of Training Tower Designs
At WHP, we have developed training tower design applications that allow you to create fire training towers tailored to your unique requirements. Whether you choose our Build-A-Tower™ app to design a fixed tower or our MODx™ app to build a tower that can be reconfigured allowing for a wider variety of training exercises, these platforms offer you complete control over the design process.
Design a Fixed Fire Training Tower
The Build-A-Tower™ application enables you to custom design a training tower that precisely matches your training objectives. It is fully modifiable to incorporate every training prop and option WHP has to offer. It can even be engineered to meet specifications including seismic and wind load requirements in all 50 states. Here’s how it works:
Select the Building Size: Begin by choosing the size of the tower you need.
Select from a range of building dimensions, ensuring your tower meets your space and training requirements. Fixed towers are fully customizable up to seven stories high.
Mix and Match Building Types: This is where the fun begins. Mix and match different building types to create a challenging and dynamic training environment. You can include various structures like burn rooms, staircases, and control rooms.
Add Accessories: Customize your tower further by adding essential accessories. Incorporate balconies, ladders, doors, and more to simulate real-world scenarios. These towers are very versatile and can be added on later to grow with the community you serve.
Color Combinations: Finally, choose from multiple color combinations to make your training tower visually appealing and easily distinguishable. A variety of custom colors and façades are available including stone, brick, and concrete.
Print a Copy: Once you’re satisfied with your design, you can print a copy for reference.

Design a Modular Fire Training Tower
The Build-A-MODx™ application is perfect for those who need a more adaptable and versatile training environment. MODx training towers offer open floor plans without any interior structural walls. Because the walls are independent of the unit, this allows all walls, doors, and windows to be easily moved, removed, or reconfigured allowing for a wider variety of training exercises.
Choose Building Size: Like the fixed tower builder, start by selecting the size of your modular tower. This allows you to customize the space to your needs.
Mix and Match Building Types: Mix and match different building types to create an adaptable and modular training tower. Incorporate burn modules, control centers, and more.
Add Accessories: Enhance the realism by adding windows, stairs, doors, and other crucial elements that can mimic real-life scenarios.
Experiment with Colors: Just like the fixed tower builder, you can experiment with color combinations to make your modular tower visually appealing.
Print a Copy: Once your design is complete, you can print a copy for your records.

Let Us Design a Training Tower for You
If you’re looking for something truly unique or prefer to leave the design process to the experts, WHP offers dedicated virtual design specialists. They can create an original 3D rendering or provide a virtual walkthrough of your fixed or modular tower. This service ensures your training tower meets your specific needs and objectives. Plus, it’s a great way to make a training tower more tangible and get people excited about the possibility of installing a training tower. Because fire departments rely on grant money from the city, having a fully built visualization of a training tower helps departments and districts present a more complete and detailed idea of the project when requesting funding for a training tower. These detailed renderings make it clear where the city’s budget money is going and what the project will look like.
