The San Marcos Regional Emergency Services Training Center offers unparalleled training opportunities for fire, law enforcement, emergency medical, and other related emergency service organizations.
Located at 184 Santar Place in San Marcos with easy access from highway 78, the training center features a 'state-of-the art' fire/rescue drill tower and fully equipped instructional building.
The drill tower is extremely flexible and provides for a number of drill scenarios for training purposes. Floor levels one through three include re-configurable floor plans to assist with search and rescue training opportunities. 
The tower is capable of providing a realistic artificial smoke environment in floors one through three. Located on the fourth floor is a fully functional ventilation prop that can be fitted for either a flat or pitched roof. An environmental burn room for conducting live fire training exercises is also available.
A key training prop included in the drill tower is a working sprinkler and standpipe system, all designed to be used interactively as part of actual multi-company drills and training evolutions.
Agencies in need of a facility to adequately test fire pumps or to hold pump operator testing, will be especially attracted to the fire pump test facility.
The pump test component can have a positive impact on departments currently searching for alternatives to conserve water and to meet mandatory water runoff requirements. Located on the drill ground is an all-weather prop area for vehicle extrication and controlled propane/natural gas training exercises.
Adequate room is also available on the concrete staging apron for practicing manipulative skills and basic driving skills.
