Open house is Saturday at Fort Worth’s Bob Bolen Public Safety Complex

Residents will have a chance to tour the new $97 million Bob Bolen Public Safety Complex during a public open house Saturday.

The open house is being hosted by the Fort Worth fire and police departments from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the facility, 505 W. Felix St.

The facility is the combined headquarters and training academy for the fire and police departments. It formally opened in September.

Residents may tour the indoor training village, driving track and burn tower, and watch water rescue demonstrations from the Fort Worth dive team. Police and firefighters will offer other demonstrations as well.

Free hotdogs will be served, and In-N-Out Burger will provide about 1,500 burgers. Dr Pepper and Snapple are also sponsors of the event.

For children, there will be face painting, bounce houses, a scavenger hunt and music.

The 80-acre Bob Bolen Public Safety Complex, at West Felix and South Hemphill streets, is named in memory of Bob Bolen, the city’s longest-serving mayor, who died Jan. 6, 2014.

The facility has indoor and outdoor training environments, classrooms and office space, firing ranges, indoor tactical training areas, an emergency vehicle 0perators course and a live-fire training structure.
