The Birmingham Fire and Rescue Service drill tower is a training facility for the Birmingham Fire and Rescue Service located behind Birmingham Fire Station No. 20 at 4825 Avenue W near the Birmingham CrossPlex and Valley Creek.
The department's original 5-story brick tower was constructed in 1961. That structure was demolished in 2017 for construction of the present tower and burn building. A groundbreaking for the present building was held on April 12, 2017.
