Buildings that are classified as a High-Rise are those buildings whose vertical height is at least 75 feet occupied space above street level. These buildings are unique due to structural components and the increased difficulty for emergency responders to perform fire ground operations, rescue, and other emergency operations.

Managers and owners of High-Rise buildings are encouraged to allow the Fire Department to conduct training exercises when possible to help both occupants and responders in resolving incidents successfully.
