Fire Academy Training Props

Firefighting training props designed and built by Rocket FAB are used throughout

Phoenix, Arizona, and the surrounding cities of Glendale, Mesa and Peoria

Clients include fire training and education centers, community colleges and vocational high school fire training programs.

Several of the staff members at Rocket FAB are firefighters, and have worked for the Phoenix Fire Department as academy training officers. After hundreds of hours teaching recruits using existing equipment, Rocket FAB developed these props to better meet the needs of the Academy in training each new graduating class of firefighters.
