The FCFES training center is
located in building 3669. The training center consists of a main
facility, housing a state of the art, 40 person classroom and offices for
the training chief and captain. The training center also has a
smokehouse, which can be configured for search and RIT training. In
2001, we finished construction of a three story burn tower. Just
south of the main facility, there is a fire ground designed specifically
to meet the needs of our technical rescue and urban search and rescue
teams. This unique and highly configurable location includes areas for
shoring, trench collapse, confined space, vehicle extrication and even
concrete and metal breaching/cutting stations.
We are a Colorado Health
Department EMS training CEU group.
