Renovation of a fire / police facility in Great Falls, Montana. Conceptual plans call for the renovation of a fire / police facility.

To be prepared to respond to any hazard withing our community, training facilities are needed to be able to train fro an all hazards approach. The TC has not had any of its infastrcuture issues addressed since completeion. This project will make much needed improvements to the training facilities including the training building, and Fire/Rescue training props. Currently, the 6 Floor training tower that is used for high rise fire attack, ventilation, rope rescue training, and a wide variety of other special service training, has been condemned due to weakening of the cinder block walls. This training tower would have to be renovated in order to be made usable again. The training tower is an essential piece of equipment in the GFFR training plan and must be fixed. Grant funding may be available to aid in the renovation of the tower. Water and sewer infrastructure in the classroom building would be updated as well as renovation and remodel of the bathrooms and kitchen area. The pavement on the training ground is in disrepair and has drainage issues that allows water flood the training props during training evolutions. The training ground pavement would be repaired or replaced, with proper drainage and water mitigation. Purcahse and installation of a multi-hazards burn prop is the most cost effective way to address the current limitations of the facility. With nearly 11 acres of ground owend by the City, this area would allow for mulitple public safety entities to train. This project is part of the city’s fy 2024 Capital Improvement Program. As of November 15, 2023, further details regarding design and construction timelines have not been identified. *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP).
