Did you know that you can rent out classroom (or drill ground) space here? Yep, that's right, it's…read morenot just a training center for West Metro Fire Rescue, it's also a space that is open to the public for other meetings and events. The center is new and beautiful. There are a number of large meeting spaces, one even with tiered seats. Of course, the training center is primarily designed for firefighter training, so in addition to the classrooms there are numerous props out on the drill ground, including a residential structure, commercial structure with tower, climbing wall, confined space rescue area, etc. There's also a pretty cool fire simulator. Because of this, other area fire departments also rent out the training center. For fire training, this simply is the best center in the area. But, the classroom portions are certainly designed for more than just fire training. They are great for any type of inside meeting (you might even bump into some firefighters while you're there!). And, perhaps the drill ground would be suitable for your needs. Off the top of my head I can see how it would be good for driver training since there is a large drive pad. I think they've even had a psychologist rent the space to work with patients who are afraid of heights or close spaces. The possibilities are numerous! And, the staff at the training center are very helpful. They will gladly work with you to get the most out of the space they have to offer.

I am a bit biased, since they are one of my clients, but everyone I've met there has been a joy to work with. They are the consummate professionals and also just really great people. If you live in their response area, you can rest assured that you are in great hands.

For the last several years, my elderly, disabled neighbor has needed to periodically call 911. As…read moreher health has recently declined, the calls have increased exponentially, sometimes up to four times per week. Every time South East responds, the paramedics are professional and caring. They have expressed their concern for my neighbor's declining health and have taken the time to contact those who are able to assist her in receiving more care. When I have let them into the building and identified myself as a friend of the caller, they have never failed to treat me well and with respect. In the last year, I have come to recognize many of the paramedics. For the number of people with whom they come in contact, it speaks highly of them that they remember me and never fail to ask how I am doing. They consistently offer excellent, compassionate care. I am deeply grateful for their patience and professionalism.

Beautiful location! My boyfriend and I decided to take a CPR class here. We learned so much in just…read moreone day. We took a tour of the first responders area and were given the chance to ask any questions we had. We learned CPR and other first aid tips but my favorite was the AED lesson. After our visit we received our cards that certified us as Heart Saver's - First Aid CPR AED! Haven't had to use the skills we learned yet but we test each other on them, every now and then

The family of fire-fighters at this location graciously handed over one of the engine truck bays for Eskie Rescuers United to move into. Even with nearly 10 tables, a throng of humans, and a small army of playful pups, ERU had the perfect amount of room to host our event, and the firemen were able to maneuver easily into the trucks when duty called (and it did a few times!) Believe it or not - the calls didn't really disrupt our event, either. Even more amazing was that not only did the firemen participate in the event by bringing in Preston, the huge Great Dane owned by one of the firemen, they even helped set up and break down our event!! None of these outstanding men were required to help, but every single one pitched in to do what they could to help break down tables, load the trucks, and make sure us fragile ladies didn't hurt ourselves ;) An incredibly professional, personable group - after spending the day with this team I would trust them with saving my life any day. They deserve the 5 stars I'm Yelping about - and then some!
