The city of Kissimmee now has a top-notch public safety facility that will help better train first responders. The city of Kissimmee recently held a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the new Kissimmee Public Safety Training Center. “It’s a state of the art facility and we are very fortunate,” said Kissimmee Police Chief Jeff O’Dell. The facility is also home to a five-story training/rappelling tower and burn building for the Kissimmee Fire Department. This facility’s five-story tower and burn building/room will allow firefighters to do live-fire training and conduct simulated searches for victims. The tower will give KFD the capability to practice technical rescue training such as high-angle rope rescue and confined space rescue. This facility also includes an elevator shaft prop and ventilation prop for firefighters to train on cutting holes in roofs.
