• 10. SITE AND •ILITIES DEVELOPMENT: The following are generalized site
development features that are anticipated. Creation of the training center
will occur in two phases, site development and facilities construction.
For each improvement the Fire Training Center Advisory Committee will
prepare a very specific improvement plan and will submit such plans to the
Board of Trustees for approval. No improvement may occur without such
approval. Facilities construction and site development to the extent
possible and within acceptable time frames will be provided by the College
Vocational Program; i.e., carpentry, landscaping, survey engineering, etc.
If an acceptable time frame cannot be achieved or a specific task lacks a
worthwhile educational experience for the vocational program, the Fire
• Training Committee shall complete the approved project in a timelymanner.
a) Phase One: Site Development
1. ACCESS
Access will be from Old Oregon Trail. The main access road and
interior roads will be designed and constructed to County Road
Standards and shall be approved by the Board of Trustees.
2. UTILITIES
Bella Vista Community Services District water runs adjacent to
the west boundary. Power is available from the College, approxi-
mately 1,500 feet to the south. Both utilities will be extended
to the project site at the expense of the Fire Training Center
Advisory Committee.
3. SITE FEATURES
The existing flat areas on the site adjacent to Old Oregon Trail
will be developed. Fire/rescue simulations will be constructed
on the east side of the unnamed tributary crossing the proposed
training site.
-5-
10. SITE AND FACILITIES DEVELOPMENT: (Continued)
a) Phase One: Site Development (Continued)
3. SITE FEATURES (Continued)
The location, width and depth of the existing water course will
remain undisturbed. Existing riparian vegetation within 20 feet
of the center of the existing water course will not be disturbed
except for some minor aesthetic clean-up and pruning.
In order to maintain an aesthetically pleasing facility, a
landscape plan will be developed using existing materials to
enhance the natural setting. Vegetation along Old Oregon Trail
will be protected.
4. SECURITY FENCING
The level area containing the fire simulations will be fenced
with six foot high chain link fencing.
Gates into the Fire Training Center will be locked. Fencing will
be completed when security or safety reasons warrant such.
5. RESTROOMS
Portable restrooms will be utilized in Phase One.
6. PARKING
Graveled space for approximately 50 vehicles will be provided.
Limited parking will be developed at the prop sites, as neces-
sary.
b) Phase Two: Facilities: The following facilities will be con-
structed for and used in the manner described.
1. DRILL TOWER/BURN BUILDING/SMOKE ROOM
The drill tower will be approximately 40' tall. It is designed
to simulate firefighting and rescue operations in high rise
situations. Firefighters will train with ground ladders, aerial
ladders and application of water.
-6-
10. SITE AND FILITIES DEVELOPMENT: (Continued!
b) Phase Two: Facilities: (Continued)
1. DRILL TOWER/BURN BUILDING/SMOKE ROOM (Continued)
The burn building will be a two story concrete block structure
approximately 20' x 20'. The facility is designed to provide
"live" structural firefighting experience. Firefighters will use
a variety of techniques to suppress the training fires.
The smoke room will be approximately 25' x 25' x 10' high. It is
designed to provide firefighters with training in a dark, smoke-
filled room, without the presence of visible flames. It provides
training for self-contained-breathing-apparatus (SCBA) plus
search and rescue. The drills will use only artificially-
_generated non-toxic smoke which dissipates rapidly. The room
will contain partitions, stairs, furniture and other typical ob-
struction found in buildings.
2. DRAFT PIT
The draft pit provides an area to train firefighters on water
sources (streams, ponds, swimming pools, etc.) other than fire
hydrants or water tenders. The pit can also be used for the
required annual pump test for fire apparatus.
3. AUTO EXTRICATIONS
An area will be provided for fire/rescue personnel to train on
proper techniques of removing victims from vehicles. Auto bodies
will be imported and removed as needed through agreements with
local auto dismantlers.
10. SITE AND PA ILITIES DEVELOPMENT: (Continued)
b) Phase Two: Facilities: (Continued)
4. LIQUID PROPANE GAS (LPG) SIMULATION
LPG props will be constructed which will simulate fires at a
typical residence. Also included will be fire simulation of an
LPG tank leak near a structure.
5. ELECTRICAL SIMULATION
Electrical fire problems will be simulated with a combination of
meter, hardware and transmission lines. Firefighters will learn
proper techniques to deal with common electrical hazards such as
utility poles, downed lines, fuses, etc.
6. FLAMMABLE LIQUID
Two small props will be constructed to conduct training primarily
with fire extinguishers.
7. VEHICLE FIRES
An automobile will be piped with several LPG fueled fire sources
to simulate typical engine compartment and fuel tank fires.
Firefighters will learn proper suppression techniques for a •
variety of vehicle fire problems.
8. HAZARDOUS MATERIALS
Hazardous material simulation will include props to demonstrate
plugging and diking leaks, product identification and other
typical problems. No hazardous materials will be used in
simulation.
9. CLASSROOM
Plans call for future classrooms on the upper elevation adjacent
to the fenced area. Restroom and shower facilities will be
incorporated in this structure.
-8-
10. SITE AND FACILITIES DEVELOPMENT: (Continued)
b) Phase Two: Facilities: (Continued)
10. STORAGE
A building, probably not larger than 20' x 30' , will be used to
store old furniture, pallets and other materials, for the train-
ing center.
11. INDEMNNIFICATION AND HOLD HARMLESS: The District, City, and County
shall indemnify and hold each other harmless for any and all claims,
expenses, demands, causes of action, liability, judgments, loss, injury of
any kind or nature whatsoever arising out of or relating to the use, misuse
or occupancy of the fire training center andits appurtenances provided

PROJECT PURPOSE AND BENEFITS •
when developed, this project will provide for a Shasta College Region-
• al Fire Training Center on a 12.4 acre site at Shasta College (adjacent to
Old Oregon Trail). The Center will provide a variety of simulated fire/
rescue training props. The initiator of this project is the Fire Chief's
Association of Shasta County. The components of the Center will be de-
signed to meet the training requirements of the emergency service agencies
in the Shasta Community College District.
The most compelling reason for the project is that the fire service in
the Shasta Community College District has no facilities available to
provide even the most rudimentary simulation of the varied emergencies
facing workers in the most dangerous occupation in the United States.
The concept of a regional fire training center evolved from the
long-standing concerns of the Chief's Association to adequately prepare
firefighters for the many types of emergencies they may face. The services
within the Shasta Community College District have over 1,000 paid and
volunteer firefighters in over fifty (50) departments. This proposal is
aimed at providing a long-term solution to the very specialized training
needs of the emergency services organization.
Currently, simulated training is provided on a very limited basis and
covers only a small portion of the total training needed to develop effec-
tive initial attack resources.
