The Clermont Fire Department conducted a Public Safety Training Facility Open House, inviting residents and community partners to visit the facility and learn how firefighters and police prepare for crises. The program used hands-on demonstrations and station tours to showcase the department's emphasis on safety, readiness, and professional service.

Guests saw training stations, saw specialized equipment, and witnessed a real car extrication exercise. According to officials, the facility allows members to practice in realistic, local situations, which improves response times and reduces travel for advanced teaching. Attendees also saw a model of anticipated future enhancements, which demonstrated the city's long-term commitment to firefighter safety, training innovation, and operational readiness. The event was backed by city authorities, partners, and local businesses, such as Mission BBQ. According to department officials, the training center is the result of more than two decades of planning and investment to improve public safety and service in the Clermont neighborhood.
