It's essential that our first responders receive the best possible training, for the public's safety and their own, said Pingree. Having the right equipment for that is critical. I'm glad Maine Fire Service Institute will receive this grant support so it can get the equipment it needs to continue providing top-notch training to the men and women our communities depend on. The funds will be used to purchase personal fire protection suits for instructors, as well as portable radios for training and certification exercises. The Maine Fire Service Institute is a department of Southern Maine Community College housed at the SMCC Midcoast Campus in Brunswick. The Maine Fire Service Institute has the legislative authority to train and certify firefighters. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
