The training laboratory is a public-private partnership, completed at no cost to residents of Fairfax County. It will serve firefighters from numerous metropolitan area fire and rescue departments and will partner with several allied fire protection industry businesses, Northern Virginia Community College (NVCC), Virginia Fire Services Board, and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The laboratory provides an invaluable resource to better help protect the lives and property of residents throughout the metropolitan region.
