New Prefabricated Fire Training Tower

December 19, 2025

REQUIREMENT LOCATION:

The Fire Trainer Tower is located in the Fire Training Area on Volk Field Combat Readiness Training Center (CRTC), Camp Douglas, Wisconsin.

BACKGROUND:

The Volk Field Combat Readiness Training Center, located at the Volk Field Air National Guard Base, currently utilizes a fire training tower that was manufactured and installed in the early 1990s. After decades of service, the structure has reached the end of its operational life cycle and is no longer suitable for continued use. To maintain effective fire training capabilities, the Government has identified the need to replace the existing tower with a new prefabricated fire training tower that meets current safety and performance standards. The replacement project will be executed using troop labor, with installation conducted in accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications. The Government’s objective is to have the new tower manufactured and delivered to Volk Field by Spring 2026. Following installation, the manufacturer will be required to certify that the tower has been properly installed and is fully operational.

PROJECT OBJECTIVES:

The objective of the project is to provide the materials, designs, plans, and assembly instructions required to replace the existing Volk Field Fire Trainer Tower with a new, site adapted, NFPA 1402 compliant prefabricated Fire Trainer Tower.
