Conference Center to be built at Tennessee Fire Service and Codes Enforcement Academy in Bell Buckle

Last week in Bell Buckle, Tennessee Governor Bill Haslam, Tennessee Department of Commerce & Insurance Commissioner Julie Mix McPeak and Tennessee fire service members and supporters broke ground on a new $5.7 million conference center at the Tennessee Fire Service and Codes Enforcement Academy.
The Academy helps train and educate over 15,000 fire and codes students each year and is a nationally recognized leader in fire service and codes enforcement education.
When complete, the 19,000 square foot conference center will provide additional meeting space to hold large classes, conferences and graduations. The new conference center will allow Tennessee to keep pace with the growing need for fire training and continue to help make the Academy a leader in fire training education.
