Training Center
Beginning in 2000 we started developing a training center that will help in attaining an ISO rating of 4.
Now we have on our training site a drill tower, smoke building, propane tank to simulate lpg fires, and vehicles to simulate vehicle fires
and to practice auto extrication.
Our drill tower is a 3 story structure
Our smoke building is a single story 24' X 24' structure. The structure has been divided up into 4 rooms. There are 2 doors that can be closed that acts as walls so that the firefighters can be forced to go one way or the other or with both doors open they can make their own choice. We have included a cut out on the top so that ventilation can be practiced also (see photo).
