This fire training campus is on a 10-acre site near Boulder Reservoir and includes an 8,700-sf, state-of-the-art training tower; a 2,700-sf burn building; a 5,800-sf classroom and administration building; and roads and utilities. The design incorporates natural day lighting to reduce energy consumption, employed local construction materials and emphasizes water efficiency. The center lets firefighters simulate a floor collapse, an elevator rescue and the close quarters of an attic fire.
The administration building allows for the training of up to 200 firefighters in state-of-the-art classrooms and two large apparatus bays. The building features administration space for multiple jurisdictions and allows local, rural fire districts to have a place to train.
