Project Overview
The 95,000 square-foot new Public Safety Training Center provides a much-needed program expansion: enrollment in FVTC’s Criminal Justice training programs has steadily increased in recent years and the limited capacity of the Fire Protection Program leaves a lengthy wait list of students.
The new center combines classroom training with hands-on practice and is used to train public safety personnel in areas such as investigation, firefighting, technical rescue, pursuit, air disasters, and more. Participants are assured real-world experiences during simulations using the facility’s extensive training areas, including a 5-story Class A burn building, indoor and outdoor firing ranges, emergency vehicle driving range, Scenario Village, and trench and confined space rescue units.
The center is the first fully-integrated training facility in the Midwest.
