Last week, the Glendale City Council unanimously approved a more than $700,000 project to design and build a Live Fire Modular Training Complex, also known as a “burn building,” for joint use by the city’s fire department and Glendale Community College’s Verdugo Fire Academy.

Glendale-based engineering consultant United Engineering & Construction Inc. was awarded the contract to replace the 60-year-old concrete burn building, decommissioned in 2010, with a new facility constructed with steel shipping containers.
