Earlier this summer, the University City Fire Department was given the unique opportunity to train at the old Crown Center building prior to demolition. The vacant 10-story Tallin Apartment Building was the perfect setting for the department to practice rescue drills in real-life settings.
The new Crown Center Phase 1 Apartment Building and Staenberg Commons opened in June 2023. Demolition of the Tallin Building begins later this summer in preparation for future expansion of the Crown Center community.
Special thanks to Russell Construction and the Crown Center for allowing our first responders to utilize the facilities for training.
