Our work in the Firefighter Training Space
We know training center design better than anyone else. Period.
Yes, we made a bold claim. We can back it up.
Our Principal Architect has 17 years of experience as a fireman. He's pulled hose, thrown ladders, forced doors, performed searches. He's worked on the engine and the truck.
He also has a decade of experience teaching as a CA State Fire Training Instructor at a community college ARTP firefighter 1 Academy.
He's also served as either an Architect or consultant on several fire department training center projects.
No other Architect will bring that kind of insight, understanding or added value to your project.
The fire service deserves better than cookie cutter conex boxes or "modular design" buildings that do not resemble anything we face in real life. We practice like we play, and our training buildings should not only be built to last, but should actually resemble the structures we fight in.
Entero Architects designs for the low frequency-high risk call, all purpose fire departments.
Yes, this is our Principal. He's done the job.
