Structure
A drill tower is a multi-level structure simulating high-rise buildings. Heights vary by location. Usually, its height is higher than the ladders a fire engine can reach. Levels are accessible from a stairway inside the tower, similar to buildings in urban areas. Drill towers usually contain windows for practising fire fighting and other rescue exercises.
Use
Towers can help fireman deal with real-life situations, including running upstairs with heavy equipment, using rope and safety nets, and operating a fire engine in a confined space.
