Background and Discussion:
A training facility will be constructed at the Fire Marshal’s Office located at 2318 Atascocita Rd, Humble TX. This training classroom will be used for in-person and hybrid training for public safety and industrial partners. The training facility will be 5,750 square feet, with two restrooms, a kitchen, four offices, and support space. The training classroom will have full audio-visual capabilities for quality education delivery both in person, virtually, or in combination.
Expected Impact:
The construction of the Fire Marshal Training Facility will be able to provide more fire and life safety training for law enforcement, fire, EMS, educational entities, and industrial partners.
Alternative Options:
The alternative is to continue with the current training facility; however, the current facility cannot accommodate all requests for fire and life safety classes, and this could directly impact emergency responder training.
