Colleges & Universities

Live fire training is an integral part of fire science coursework at colleges and universities throughout North America, and the use of WHP's training towers and burn room liners is helping to prepare fire science students for careers in fire service.

Often built in conjunction with municipalities or local

governments, these college and university training towers are used to train emergency responders that benefit the entire community. WHP's custom-built fire training towers can take the needs of all potential training groups into account while planning and constructing a tower.

Community colleges are choosing WHP Trainingtowers to build

the structures in which America's next generation of firefighters are trained. More First Responders are trained in community college training towers than ever before.

Colleges and universities can provide Firefighter 1 and Firefighter 2 training, which includes firefighter training, hose advancement and incident command. WHP offers a wide variety of options and customization that can further enhance the value of the training including rappel anchors, smoke systems and much more. In addition, we can customize our buildings for simulating fires onboard ships.
