In 2025, Loveland Fire Rescue Authority completed a new class A live fire training building. This new facility

replaced the aging smoke house and will raise the standard for training facilities in the northern Colorado front

range area. The four-story building has multiple burn rooms on 3 floors and multiple configurations to adjust floor

plans which can provide more options for scenarios in commercial and multi-family structures. BFPD will continue

to utilize their LFRA regional training center and benefit from the cooperative relationships we have built with

LFRA training. Live fire training continues to be a priority in 2026 as one of the high risk, low frequency events that

demands our focus.

The 2024-2025 training needs analysis identified officer

development as a priority for training, and efforts started on that front

will continue into 2026-2027. The company officer task book was

completed in 2023, and the command officer task book has been

established. Efforts to identify options for a company officer academy

are continuing, and the District has committed to invest heavily into

the development of our current and future officers through training
