Title, Order
Authorizing a Grant Application to the Maine Fire Service Institute/Maine Fire Protection Services Commission
Regional Live Fire Training Facility Grant Program in the Amount of $509,400 to Construct a New Live Fire
Training Facility
This order will authorize a grant application to the Maine Fire Services Commission of $509,400 to
construct a live fire training facility. The State Legislature passed LD1845 which established a fund
to support the construction, and the repair or replacement of regional live fire service training
facilities (LFTF) in the State of Maine. Maine Fire Service Institute (MFSI), in an effort to promote
standardization, has provided an Request for Proposal detailing the specifications of a new facility.
The total grant would be $509,400, with no local match required.
Our current live fire training facility has limited capabilities, lacks current safety features, and is
starting to deteriorate due to its age and heavy use. The new facility would meet all National Fire
Protection (NFPA) standards and offer more versatile training opportunities, making it safer, more
efficient, and capable of meeting our training needs for years to come.
