Details: The Fire Department is requesting approval to receive a Training Prop, valued at $63,850, from the Gary Sinise Foundation. The prop will be a Taylor'd Systems Series 12 training prop. This prop, per their website "is an ideal solution for departments with limited on-site space, this unit boasts over 10 training apparatuses". Training with the Series 12 prop will include window training, roof ventilation, forcible entry, roof hatch/floor hole, bailout window training, wall breaching, confined space, entanglement, and more. This grant opportunity covers the cost of the training prop and shipping, however, the town will be responsible for tax amount of the prop in the amount of $4,469.51.
The Fire Department will be able to conduct on site training here in Landis, with mutual aid departments, that would have previously required traveling to Rowan Cabarrus Community College (R.C.C.C.)

This isn't a complete substitution for the training grounds at RCCC as the state requires a set amount of hours for each firefighter at an official training facility, but will supplement our firefighters with hands-on training here in town. The prop will be stored at Station 58. It can also be used in public education events, teaching about fire safety to the public.
