Funding is getting harder and harder to come by, and fire departments are forced to stretch their dollars to the limit each year. Unique funding sources are out there, but figuring out how and who to approach is oftentimes a lesson in futility. Timing of requests is also paramount in the successful acquisition of funds and materials for training props. This program will not only supply the attendee with 20 outstanding training props that may be constructed with little to no financial outlay, it will also identify some unique, outside-the-box funding and material sources that many departments overlook. Many of the training props are completely mobile so that inclement weather does not hamper a scheduled drill session. Many are also able to be broken down so that storage space is minimized, and the prop may be utilized over multiple years and training evolutions.
