City fire training center closings reshape Iowa crews
Iowa City fire fighters lose a centralized training site after the 1001 S Clinton St facility closed in December for a riverfront redevelopment. The department uses video classes and Coralville’s facility for live burns while exploring vacant buildings for drills. A new storage site is planned at the public works campus and police fire training may be shared.
