We walked near the airport today, where the Fire Department has two training facilities. One is used to practice cutting cars apart with "Jaws of Life" or disarming EV batteries after a crash, etc.

The buildings here are former military barracks and offices, and are used to train firefighters in Urban Search and Rescue -- rather than rappelling down cliffs or scouring the desert for lost hikers, this group practices going through burning, collapsed, toxic buildings, tunnels and other environments.
Just 100M away is the channel off San Diego Bay, which is invariably calm water, hosting many sea birds and the occasional sea lion.
Across the channel is the former Naval Training Center, developed now into housing and mixed use retail businesses, known as Liberty Station.
