Three burn buildings

The 3-building Fire Training Center features a four story "high rise," two-story apartment building, and ranch style home, all designed for fire fighting simulation exercises.

The campus also contains an emergency driving track and simulation areas for vehicle extrication/confined space, water features for underwater rescue, trench rescue and fuel spill fires. In addition to a detention pond, the complex utilizes a retention pond to recycle fire training water.
