The rollover simulator was recently awarded through the FY2017 Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI) Residual Funds Grant program, which is managed by the Denver Office of Emergency Management.

Denver Fire Department Fire Chief Todd Bower with Commander CJ Haberkorn, Captain Greg Pixey, Captain Mike Pylar, Councilwoman Debbie Ortega and others were all were on hand for the event. The rail-car trailer will be managed by DFD and used as a shared training device for other fire departments in the North Central Region (North Central All-Hazards Emergency Management Region).
