The Comox Live Fire Training Centre is not about to close up shop, with the City of Courtenay moving forward in building their own fire training venue–that from Comox Fire Chief Gord Schreiner who says the facility has been very well received, and there are no plans to shut it down, or scale back any training operations.
Schreiner says the Comox Valley’s firefighter training needs are already well handled with the Comox training facility, for both individual and group scenarios.
