Sample Modular Fire Training Tower Designs
The best way to learn what makes an ideal live fire training simulator is by seeing sample towers that other departments have built.
One of the most important considerations when building a tower is in the features and components that your trainees will encounter in your community.
WHP Trainingtowers® has hundreds of tower plans on file, each customized for one of our customers. If you don’t see what you’re looking for, call us. We probably have it on file. If not, we’ll design it. After all, this is YOUR project.
