The Battalion Chief

The Battalion Chief is a two-and-a-half-story training tower with four working deck levels. Its design resembles a residence with its double-door entrance, two floors with L-shaped stairs, usable attic, gabled shutters, and burn room annex (garage). The burn room offers two exits, one to the interior of the tower and the other to the exterior.
