Stark State College Fire Science Training Center

== History ==
The program began in 1960 to serve the growing need of trained firefighters, originally they trained out of a small maintenance garage on Frank Avenue which is now demolished with the current station being built in 2004 then expanded shortly there after to accomodate the Thibault ladder. The Center began a joint operation of the Portage Lakes Career Center Fire Academy and loaned them a truck in the 2010s after the UA ended their partnership and in 2024 began to jointly operate the Cuyahoga Valley Career Center Fire Academy.
