The purpose of the new San Francisco Fire Department Division of Training facility is to provide an upgraded training campus for firefighters and emergency medical technicians to meet the evolving needs of emergency responders. The project is comprised of an administration and classroom building, a firefighter recruit building, an apparatus building for vehicle and equipment storage, a maintenance shop, several controlled live-fire and rescue structures (training tower, apartment/condominium building, commercial structure, Victorian house, vehicle fire), urban search and rescue simulations (earthquake damaged buildings, confined spaces, trenches) and paved roadways with hills to emulate San Francisco topography and street conditions for fire apparatus vehicle maneuvering, fire ladder and fire hose deployment training.
