Bill > LD679

This bill provides a one-time allocation of $1,000,000 from the General Fund to the Maine Fire Service Institute for fiscal year 2026-27, specifically to support the construction, repair, or replacement of regional live fire service training facilities across the state. The funding will be awarded by the Maine Fire Protection Services Commission, which suggests a structured process for distributing these funds to different regional training locations. Live fire service training facilities are specialized training grounds where firefighters can practice techniques for fighting real fires in a controlled, safe environment, which is crucial for developing and maintaining critical firefighting skills. By providing this dedicated funding, the bill aims to improve and modernize firefighter training infrastructure throughout Maine, potentially enhancing the preparedness and safety of fire service personnel across the state.
