The Town of Burlington Fire Department and City of Burlington Fire Department are raising money to invest in a proposed emergency training facility for the west end of the county. A new training facility would allow the department to train in various fire scenarios, EMS situations, hazmat training, and specialized training such as high-angle rope scenarios. “We just want something a little closer,” said City of Burlington Fire Chief Alan Babe. “We don’t have the (training) facilities to compare with what our specific area has in terms of types of structures.” Currently, the two departments rent spaces or train in buildings scheduled to be razed. The nearest training facility with some of what the Burlington departments are considering is located at the Kansasville fire station. Though the blueprints for the facility have not been finalized, the hope is to get a three-story facility with a tower portion to use for training exercises.
