The City of Kissimmee Fire Department, in partnership with the City’s Public Works and Engineering Department, has completed construction of its new Training Pavilion—an advanced facility designed to enhance firefighter readiness and expand emergency response capabilities throughout the community.
Located within the City of Kissimmee Public Safety Training Facility, the new pavilion provides a dedicated field space for specialized courses, including Vehicle and Machinery Rescue, Hazardous Materials Response, Confined Space Rescue, and Fire Apparatus Pump Operations. These advanced training programs ensure that Kissimmee firefighters can respond to complex emergencies with greater precision, safety, and efficiency.
The facility also includes a stand-alone decontamination building equipped with showers, enabling firefighters to remove potentially harmful contaminants following live-fire training exercises. This addition underscores KFD’s ongoing commitment to firefighter wellness and long-term health by improving hygiene and safety standards during and after intensive training.
Funded primarily through a State of Florida Criminal Justice Grant, the Training Pavilion underwent several months of construction and safety inspections before becoming fully operational in October 2025.
By completing this project, the Kissimmee Fire Department can now conduct more training locally—reducing travel costs, increasing collaboration with regional partners, and keeping firefighters closer to the community they protect.
