We began utilizing the new Training/Burn Tower in March 2017 during the 100th Recruit Class Structure Burns. We would like to thank Phil Lopez for his tireless work, Kim Besserman for his support and work with St. Louis County, Jim Usry for his assistance, Kurt Becker and the Fire Academy Board of Directors for their continued support and assistance in making sure the tower became a reality. A big thank you to County Executive Stenger for his support. Finally, thank you to all of the Instructors at the Fire Academy for their support and flexibility before and during the construction of this project.
