“The training tower is a little bit more of a problem to move. If you take it apart, it's likely not to go back together. The hope is to be able to separate the little one-story attachment to it, the— what we call the burn room, from the tower itself and be able to either brace or secure the tower itself so that we can pick it up and lay it down on a large oversized trailer and move it.”

Um, the training tower is a little bit more of a problem to move. If you take it apart, it's likely not to go back together. The hope is to be able to separate the little one-story attachment to it, the— what we call the burn room, from the tower itself and be able to either brace or secure the tower itself so that we can pick it up and lay it down on a large oversized trailer and move it. That would be ideal. I have those quotes out and I'm just waiting information back right now.
