Fire Department Training Center Heliport

The heliport was decommissioned due to a shift in the Dallas Fire-Rescue department's training priorities and land use. The space was repurposed for other critical, ground-based training exercises, specifically for Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting (ARFF) simulations, which made maintaining an active heliport redundant.

The site is an active training ground within the Dallas Fire-Rescue Training Academy at 5000 Dolphin Road, Dallas, TX. The former helipad's paved surface is now a multi-purpose drill yard. A large mock aircraft fuselage is permanently situated on the site, indicating its current primary use for hands-on ARFF training and other emergency response scenarios.

This was a private, special-use heliport located at the Dallas Fire-Rescue Training Academy. Its sole purpose was to support training exercises for fire and rescue personnel. Operations were limited to drills such as medical evacuation (medevac) procedures, patient loading/unloading, establishing safe landing zones, and general familiarization with helicopter operations. It was not a public facility and handled no commercial or general aviation traffic. Note: The identifier 'US-10634' is not an official ICAO code but a non-standard identifier used by third-party aviation databases.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening the heliport. The space has been permanently and fully integrated into the training academy's ground-based curriculum. The Dallas Fire-Rescue department has access to numerous other operational airports and heliports in the region for any necessary helicopter operations.
