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. Finance Committee 04/22/2019 Recommend for passage This item will be reviewed by the Finance Committee prior to this evening's City Council meeting.
