Marco Island Fire Rescue Division Chief Jeff Kutzke points out a standpipe in the training tower located at the old fire station on East Elkcam Circle. The training tower allows the fire department to simulate emergencies in a taller structure, including using the roof for rappelling. Work performed on the tower included repair of the standpipe, new doors and windows and a new coat of exterior paint. The ladder to the right of Kutzke goes to the roof of the building, which was built in the 1980s and is still used two to three times a week by both Marco and Isles of Capri firefighters.
