Del Valle Training Center The Fire Department of Los Angeles County has five training sites: the department headquarters and command center on Eastern Avenue, known as “the Hill” (an area that is also the Sheriff's command center); an east County training center in Pomona, used for recruit training; a north County training site in Lancaster, with the county's only active live fire tower; a classroom site in La Quinta; and the Del Valle Training Center, near Castaic, the largest and most diversified fire training prop site in the LA region. Del Valle is located on a hill top and uses 160 acres of land that the county bought from Unocal in 1984. Much of the focus of Del Valle is technical rescue training. There are industrial props (including a portion of an oil refinery), vehicle accident props(including propane-powered bus collisions and a collapsed building prop (detail)), concrete slab cutting props, shoring training props, confined space rescue props (detail), and other urban search and rescue facilities. There is also a hazmat training area with railcars and a chemical storage building, and a fire extinguisher training area. |
