On Oct. 3 the public will have its first opportunity to tour Phase I of the W.W. “Cotton” Weaver Training Center, SFD communications director Tracee Evans said. The event will allow visitors to explore the 52,000-square-foot building and see the department’s burn buildings and props.
The expo will also offer safety demonstrations and a festival suitable for all ages. Visitors can talk with first responders, tour department vehicles and enjoy refreshments from food trucks.
W.W. “Cotton” Weaver, the training center’s namesake, served as one of the first volunteer firefighters in Spring, starting in 1953. Weaver, who died in January, was a former fire chief.
