A house on Old Niskayuna Road in Colonie is the first of two houses being moved to the Town’s Municipal Training Center to provide realistic scenarios for emergency services training.

It will be used for fire scenarios, search and rescue training, theatrical smoke, police training, hostage negotiation training, SWAT team deployment and crime scene forensics training.
