Disaster City is a world-renowned training facility that equips members of the Texas Task Force and other officials with the experience of a simulated disaster that many A&M students volunteer to replicate victims for. Some of the facilities inside of Disaster City include: A collapsed office building, train car pile-up, and concrete rubble. Disaster City is located near the Brayton fire training field.
