The city is proposing a facility that provides opportunities for Manitou Springs Fire Department personnel and volunteers to train and drill in a controlled environment that resembles Manitou’s topography and other features. This is needed to ensure the safety of the first responders and that they are sufficiently prepared to react to actual emergencies.
An in-person open house for the proposed facility is scheduled to start at 6 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 26, in Memorial Hall, 606 Manitou Ave.
