PROJECT OVERVIEW
The Massachusetts Firefighting Academy expanded its statewide training capabilities by adding this 18-acre campus in southeast Massachusetts. With a focus on live fire and technical rescue training, the phased facility serves the full range of firefighter training needs including classroom instruction, dormitory housing, and a comprehensive array of live fire and rescue training structures. Phase 1 is complete and included the Class A burn building, water reclamation system, and site infrastructure. The remaining program will be designed and constructed in future phases.
