The Clayton County Fire and Emergency Services will break ground on its new multi-purpose training facility 11:30 a.m. Wednesday. The new building at 7810 Highway 85, Riverdale was part of the approved 2009 SPLOST project.
The facility will hold four 1,000-square-foot classrooms that can convert into a large conference/seminar area that seats 200+ people. Along with the multi-use classrooms will be two EMS training labs utilized for training fire personnel with latest procedures and techniques in emergency medicine.
This building will also house a state of the art fitness center for the health and wellness of Clayton County Fire & Emergency Services personnel. The Clayton County Emergency Management Agency will be based out of the new complex and will be the headquarters for the emergency operations, management, and mitigation of large-scale incidents and disasters.
This new training facility will be the next step in creating a regional training complex that will provide the latest in fire, emergency medical and law enforcement tactical training.
