The Command School story begins with the vision of Don Abbott. In the early 90's Don developed the model city diorama, “Abbottville™”, to provide training sequences for fire and hazardous materials teams. In 2001, he and his wife, Bev, sold the business to Command School, Inc.; subsequently, thousands of firefighters and community critical incident management teams have strengthened their decision-making, communications, leadership, strategic and tactical skill sets as Abbottville™ transitioned into Command School and, subsequently, Command School TTX.

Today as part of The Blue Cell, LLC we carry forward the original concepts of “Abbottville™” and combine the three-dimensional world the notional two-dimensional world of Chelsea County USA (a full functioning notional County website).
