The state-of-the-art Round Rock Public Safety Training provides 100,000 SF of indoor/outdoor multipurpose space for classroom instruction and training for fire and police personnel. The facility offers tiered classrooms, an indoor tactical firing range with twelve 50-yard lanes, dedicated defense tactics exercise area, fire and police scenario training (including Candidate Physical Ability Tests), a learning kitchen, a large break room to support evening functions, shower/locker rooms, and offices. Two apparatus bays and a burn village featuring a five-story burn building, a two-story burn apartment, and a two-story residential burn setting are additional highlights. The burn buildings allow for Class A and Class B burn fire-training exercises.
The remaining site programs consist of a large skills pad utilized by fire and police personnel, a fuel-spill prop, a confined-space and trench-rescue area, and a shared outdoor classroom/storage building. The facility allows fire personnel to train with foam and water, which allows the ultimate flexibility for other departments to utilize the facility. Other diverse offerings — such as an overturned train-car prop to simulate a chemical spill — allow training for low-frequency, high-risk events. Expansion plans call for a two-story fire warehouse, an emergency vehicle operations course, and a swift-water rescue training course.
In mid-2019, the center showcased its flexibility when firefighters at Round Rock Fire Department’s Station No. 1 temporarily relocated and operated out of the facility’s fire-scenario training area following mold discovery at Station No 1.
