LAS VEGAS (FOX5) — The Clark County Fire Department has broken ground on a new training center for firefighters.
Clark County commissioners joined the fire chief and other personnel to mark the start of the project this week.
The new facility will be built at the site of the now-closed training center near Tropicana and Arville. It opened in 1983 and has helped train hundreds of classes of firefighters.

The old center will be knocked down. In its place will go a larger training and maintenance facility and a new fire station.
“Our valley has grown and so is our department. So we need to keep up with that,” said Chief Billy Samuels of the Clark County Fire Department. “This is just going to make it nicer, cleaner, and then take advantage of the technology that we have in this decade that we’re in.”
The county expects the project to be completed by 2028.
