This would enhance our Training Academy and abilities. The cost of this construction <br /> would be covered by Richland College. The City of Decatur will not incur any construction <br /> costs. Decatur Fire Department personnel would manage the building through the coordination <br /> of Richland College Fire Science Program. This building will enhance the Richland College Fire <br /> Science Program and assist us with a higher quality of training. The building is manufactured to <br /> burn combustible solids such as wood and straw to make the training more realistic. We do not <br /> have these capabilities at our training facility. <br />
