In addition, the facility includes a prop yard consisting of various fire training props, and a Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) training area.

Goals

  • Train new firefighters, police officers, paramedics and emergency medical technicians.

  • Expand opportunities to upgrade skills for existing public safety professionals.

  • Hold live drills in firefighting, police pursuits and disaster response.

  • Integrate general education programs for Associate Degrees in public safety fields.

Community Relationship
