At the Louisiana Fire & Emergency Training Academy (FETA), our philosophy is simple: Combine real-life props with an experienced and knowledgeable staff to deliver the most realistic training experience available. With safety in the forefront of everyone’s mind, we design emergency scenarios to train the emergency response community to be better prepared for and ready to respond to real-world emergencies.
