A fire department in western Nebraska is getting a new training facility, and it's one that's expected to get use by other departments.
ALLIANCE, Neb. -- A fire department in western Nebraska is getting a new training facility.
The Alliance City Council has unanimously approved spending nearly $285,000 for a new metal fire training facility. The Alliance Volunteer Fire Department and the Alliance Rural Fire Protection District are also helping fund the project.
The center will be similar to Chadron's training complex, with three-story tower, live-fire burn rooms and a reconfigurable maze.
Fire officials expect other city departments to use it, such as the Alliance Police Department training on secure entry procedures.
