One of the major initiatives of Florida Urban Search and Rescue Task Force 4 is the training, and support of it members. Meetings are continuously held to discuss the formation of a USAR training facilities in the Central Florida area, and in Ocala, Florida at the Florida State Fire College. These comprehensive training centers will utilize appropriate props and training sites for simulating different types of disaster in various confined spaces, construction types, and collapse scenarios. The Central Florida Urban Search and Rescue team will use these facilities to prepare and plan for technical rescues that may be required in the Metro-Orlando area. In addition to the training facilities, the State of Florida is planning to create a mobile training trailer. This simulator will provide unique collapse and confined space training throughout the state. Our ultimate responsibility continues to be the safety of the State of Florida, its citizens and visitors. Training our men and women will be placed on high priority.
