New Aircraft Rescue & Fire Fighting Center Dedicated

Only center in U.S. featuring full-size Boeing 777.

Fox Valley Technical College and Appleton International Airport (ATW) hosted a dedication ceremony for the ATW Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting (ARFF) Training Center on Oct. 15.

While the facility opened and began training opportunities in June 2020, a formal dedication ceremony had to be postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The event included a tour of the facility, an emergency fire fighting mock drill and a dedication ceremony. Senator Tammy Baldwin, who helped secure a $12 million grant from the Federal Aviation Association (FAA) for the project, attended the ceremony and gave formal remarks.

Other guests included Congressman Mike Gallagher, Outagamie County Executive Tom Nelson and many community partners, including Oshkosh Airport Products.

The facility is one of the nation’s premier centers for ARFF training, which includes a one-of-a-kind Boeing 777 Specialized Aircraft Fire Trainer and Cessna Skyhawk training prop. The facility has already hosted firefighters and rescue crews from across the country and around the world.
