Training Support Building & Training Tower

A state-of-the-art facility dedicated to preparing Gig Harbor firefighters for every emergency they’ll face in our community.

ABOUT THE FACILITY

For years, Gig Harbor firefighters traveled to facilities outside the district to complete required live-fire training — adding travel time, overtime costs, and scheduling challenges while taking crews away from our community.

The Gig Harbor Fire & Medic One Training Campus changes that. This state-of-the-art facility gives our firefighters a safe, realistic, local place to build the experience and confidence they need before those skills are called upon in someone’s home, business, or apartment building.

Regular opportunities to train in realistic fire conditions help firefighters stay sharp, work as a cohesive team, and respond with the speed and precision our community deserves.

HOW IT WAS FUNDED

Made possible by Gig Harbor voters, who approved an $80 million facilities bond in August 2022 with more than 66% support. The bond also funds the replacement of Station 51 and improvements to Stations 53, 57, 58, and 59. The vision dates back to 2009 — confirmed as a top District priority in the 2021 Capital Facilities Plan and brought to life by the community’s support.
