Below are two pictures of the burn building at the Boston Fire Academy. Upon being hired into the Department all recruits must spend appoximately 14 weeks in what we call "Drill School". After successful completion the graduates become Firefighters-On-Probation (FFOP's) for a period of 12 months.
The $4.6 burn building was built in 2008. It's designed to simulate a few different styles of buildings commonly seen in Boston. The six story tower represents a high-rise building and is equipped with standpipes and an elevator shaft. The other two parts of the building simulate a three-decker (three story wood frames) and a peaked roof 2 1/2 story wood-frame.
In addition we also do high-angle and technical rescue training within the facility. Feel free to email me with questions anytime: roger@bostonfiregear.com.
