ITEM TITLE Resolution #8427: Appropriation of Funds for the Reconstruction of a
Training Tower at Fire Station No. 2, 80 East "J" St.
SUBMITTED BY Fire Chief
ITEM EXPLANATION
In 1972, the Fire Department training tower located at
was inspected by the Division of Industrial Safety and
constructed of wood and was almost continuously wet fr.
the wood rotting. Since demolition of this tower, the
manipulative training evolutions necessary to maintain
severely curtailed.
Fire Station 1F2, 80 East "J" Street,
declared unsafe. The tower was

a desirable skill level has been
The lack of training facilities and commensurate reduction in scope of training activities
was a major concern expressed by the rating engineers of the I.S.O. (Insurance Services
Office) when they recently surveyed the fire protection capabilities of Chula Vista.
In recent years, efforts have been directed toward development of a permanent training
facility which will provide a full range of training capabilities.
In the 1976-77 C.I.P. Budget funds are provided for land acquisition for a training
facility and subsequent funding is anticipated for construction of the necessary buildings
and auxiliary facilities. An estimated time span of five years is expected for completion.
In the interim, the need for training continues in multi-story fire fighting evolutions,
ladder drills, rope and rescue drills and similar manipulative evolutions for which no
facilities are now available. Rebuilding the three-story wooden tower at 80 East "J"
Street can accommodate a substantial share of this need until the permanent facility is
available.
