PROJECT OVERVIEW
Over 20 years ago, the State of Connecticut identified a need for eight regional fire schools around the state to deliver training to career and volunteer departments. Four locations had existing training facilities that were 30 to 50+ years old, some built by volunteer firefighters on weekends. The initial statewide master planning study was a success, and the state legislature funded five of the projects over the next 15 years. The completed fire schools include administration/classroom buildings, Class A burn buildings, training towers, drafting pits, and various storage and support buildings.
